Moral relativism by ReeferMadness in Tiktoktalk

The question of moral "absolutism" vs. "relativism" is often treated as chiefly a question of ought, when in reality, it is a question of is.

I.e., it's not about whether one ought regard morality as absolute/relative, but whether morality as a matter of fact is one of either.

And in that respect, my view is that moral relativism is absolute.

By which I mean simply: it does not matter if you own your morals or defer them to some deity, for instance -- in either case, it's you making that call. The buck stops with you, and that is and will be the conflict between you and others.

You can pretend that morality isn't relative. But fact remains that it absolutely is.
