#Relativism

Moral relativism is a sophisticated self-serving doctrine that abandons absolute judgments of right and wrong, and flexibly rearranges its standards according to trends and moods. It pretends to respect others’ values while granting absolution for one’s own unethical deeds. With each goal comes a fresh coat of ethical paint, making it the ultimate Trickster whose convictions inspire no trust. Misapplied, it becomes a dangerous sorcery that dresses evil acts in the armor of 'justice.'

Relativism is the wondrous doctrine that all values and truths shapeshift according to perspective and circumstance. It proclaims its own absoluteness while generously “respecting” every other opinion as equally valid. Justice, morality, and universal norms dissolve like smoke when confronted by a clever opponent invoking “context.” It masquerades as the champion of truth-seeking even as it decrees nothing is binding without unanimous consent. Its true brilliance lies in the proud ambiguity of never revealing its own yardstick.
