An Argument from Relativity. This paper makes an argument from relativism. A foundation argument of skepticism, relativism holds with no absolute moral truth but is dependent on an individual's or community's interpretation of a moral truth. A skeptic is one who believes that ethics is subjective. In other words, that certain moral principles are neither true nor false in and of themselves but simply have ascribed to them those properties according to taste and convenience. The argument from relativity takes as its premise that moral codes vary from society to society, time period to time period and also takes into account the differing moral beliefs between different classes and groups within a society. 3.5 pgs. 7 f/c. 3b.
