It
seems to me that there is another problem here. The cultural
relativists began with the notion that ethical codes or rules were
only binding within a culture. But the rule that everyone should be
tolerant of the values of other cultures is a trans-cultural or
cross-cultural rule. It
applies across cultures. Isn't it inconsistent for the relativist to suggest that there
is such a rule? |
