Moral Relativism

 


The moral relativist under the bed appears to be taking a meta-ethical position. It may not be possible to establish an objective reason why it is wrong to scare children, but is the child right to be scared? Are moral relativists capable of anything simply because they do not lay claim to absolute moral values? A similar question is often asked about atheists.
