Absolutism&Moral Relativism - Mind Map

Absolutism&Moral Relativism

There are no universally
valid moral principles-All points
of view are equally valid...Truth/falsity,
right/wrong ,good/evil are products of differing conventions

Cultural Relativism-
Ideas,values,knowledge,behaviour,feelings eating habits,dressing ...must be understood within their culture context.

Conceptual Relativism-
Several formulations of idea
that truth, or existence, is some
how relative to conceptual schemes

Descriptive

Members of at least some different groups, Eg:Some culture , community, biological species have interestingly different sets of central concepts.

Normative

Moral rightness and wrongness of actions
varies from society to society.No absolute universal
moral standards binding on all men at all times.

Alethic Relativism-
What is true for one individual or
social group may not be true for another

Individualistic Moral Relativism-
Idea that values vary from person to person
Everyone has their own set of morals

A view that atleast some truths
or values apply to all times,places
,social and cultural frameworks

They are UNIVERSAL

Absolutism is necessary for
rationally grounded morality
-Kant

It is wrong to lie even to
save an innocent person
"To be truthful in all deliberations
is a sacred thing"
