Abstract

Relativism in ethical theory is the doctrine that ethical truth is somehow relative to a background body of doctrine, or theory, or form of life or “whirl of organism”. It is an expression of the idea that there is no one true body of doctrine in ethics. There are different views, and some are “true for” some people, while others are true for others.
