Abstract

Human beings are rational, we can distinguish between right and wrong, true and false knowledge, or facts, however, because of theoretical complexity, coupled with different customs and education, cognitive, inevitably errors, especially in the ethical and moral aspects, is more confusing, difficult to distinguish the correct reason that happened skepticism and relativism, the idea of the truth, we do not here on, we are only on the ethical aspects to be examined. In ancient Greece gave rise to skepticism and ethical relativism, in modern times more people insist, does not recognize a uniform or universal model exists, in fact, this is wrong, no matter who the ethics of ancient and modern, and even advocates suspect or theory of relativity no exception, when they believe that the line of good and evil as to avoid, enough, this recognition, not to recognize the universality of moral or ethical, the absolute nature of it? Ethical skepticism or relativism advocates no doubt of their doctrine, and are not caught in self-denial, and to their claim, there is generally a model of value?
