Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today they are focusing on the ethical theory of moral relativism.
Moral relativism is the idea that all of morality is relative, there are no objective moral truths. A moral relativist would therefore believe that the rightness or wrongness of an action is completely relative to the time, society or culture it takes place in.
This video analyses the strengths of moral relativism as an ethical theory as well as the challenges.
