By the original commenter's definition, value pluralism involves having zero, not many, core principles that are absolute. "Absolute" is the key word.

- 8note 6y agoIs the comment meaningful if there's nobody that it describes?
- danharaj 6y agoThere certainly exist people who in their last moments sacrifice everything for something greater than themselves. If that's not an absolute sacrifice then no, there probably isn't. But in the small we are always compromising on some things in favor of others. A principle can be upheld at great cost until it finally gives way. One principle can crumble away in favor of others very suddenly.

- usrusr 6y agoThank you, that helped. "You can raise at most one principle to absolute priority."
