If one is truly a moral relativist, then he should have nothing to say to someone whose morality is based on science, reading tea leaves, or believing in a god. Nor should he boast that he is moral to others or attempt to persuade others of his point of view, because that would be nonsensical. His morality is for his actions alone, how others think or behave should be irrelevant. Therefore, I find hypocrisy and logical self-contradiction in those who say they espouse moral relativism and yet advocate for it.
Rather, these people should realize that they are really moral absolutists who happen to conflict with the views of other moral absolutists. You've described it, then used a bizarre moral strawman (Hi! I'm a moral relativist, you must comply to what I believe! Oh, bugger, now I'm an absolutist. ) to try and denounce it. Nice one. |
