Ethical Relativism

Description

Ethical Relativism

-How would an objectivist respond to the subjectivist/ relativist argument that there is no objective right and wrong because people never agree about what is right and wrong.

-How could one be an objectivist or nonrelativist and yet hold that what is right in some circumstances is wrong or bad in others?

-Is the relativist necessarily more tolerant than the objectivist?

Kant and Deontology.

-State two practical differences between a perfect and an imperfect duty.

-Compare the principle of utility as a consequentialist moral principle with the categorical imperative as a non-consequentialist moral principle.
