I
think that we should also consider the fundamentality of the
problem at issue.
Let's suppose that we are thinking about interfering with some
action X practiced by people in a group who do not accept our
principles. Let's also suppose that we are judging this action by our
principles. So we are assuming some sort of "appraiser's group
relativism" at this point. Doesn't it matter whether X is a fundamental
violation of our code or something of lesser importance?
Let me clarify this with an example. Forcing women to kill themselves
when their husbands die is a violation of what we consider a
fundamental right. Forcing women to cook dinner for their husbands is
not. Surely we stand a better chance of justifying interference to
stop the former. So the fundamentality or gravity of the action we may
interfere with is relevant when we are trying to justify interference.
