The Importance of Moral Relativism in Western Thought
A moral relativist is somebody who believes that a moral judgment is the expression of the subjective opinion of a particular person. Everything, every judgment is relative to the interests and position of the person who makes it, so that in the end there is no position outside the individual from which he can be judged. And the obvious thing to say about moral relativism is that it's what is left when the religious worldview collapses - perhaps one reason why it is so prevalent now.
