There are no objective moral truths. All moral values are relative to society and individuals. No particular view is right. The job of ethics is not to impose morality but to reflect on individual and social traditions. The only absolutist truth is that truth is relative and not open to debate
Subjective Relativism
- Rorty argues that the individuals should be free to develop his/her morality and then relate with a particular group of people who share the same views
Cultural relativism
- Morality is concerned with social groups. E.g. faith communities.
- The fundamental idea is no society is better than another and as a result, this creates a good multicultural society.
