Ethical Relativism
The view that there are no objective moral principles or codes. Moral or Ethical Relativism holds that
all normative assessments of actions and persons are subject to variation. There are at least two
distinct forms of Ethical Relativism:
-
- Subjectivism - holds that each individual moral agent is the arbiter of obligation.
-
- Conventionalism - holds that moral assessment is determined by the general agreement of
a society.
