Who Am I to Judge? Politics and the Problem of Moral Relativism | Prof. Francis Beckwith
The Thomistic Institute
Exploring Moral Objectivism and Moral Relativism
The chapter delves into the concepts of moral objectivism and moral relativism, using examples from movies and real-life scenarios to illustrate how individuals may rationalize or challenge moral principles based on cultural beliefs and personal justifications. Discussions include objections to moral relativism, challenges in justifying moral standards, the relationship between belief exclusivity and rational thought, as well as the role of tolerance in the existence of objective morality. The chapter concludes by emphasizing universal moral truths that transcend societal differences and explores the influence of natural law on human behavior and moral decision-making.
