Thinking there's anything wrong with relativism is perverse, and a disgrace to philosophy as a whole. Trying to discredit relativism means you think there's one, and only one, standard of right and wrong, and that our ethics can never improve based on philosophical thinking. It's anti-progress and, therefore, utterly anti-philosophy.

- menexenus 8y agoIsn't your statement itself an absolutist statement? (I.e., that trying to discredit relativism "means" something, as a matter of fact?) If you're being ironic here, well played.
- msla 8y agoOf course I'm not being absolutist, and the only reason you say I'm being ironic is because you cannot refute my statement.
