Abstract

In this chapter I make a case against moral relativism. After defining moral relativism, I critique two major arguments for it: (1) the argument from disagreement, and (2) the argument from tolerance.

Keywords: Moral relativism, natural law, moral absolutism, moral objectivism, Catholicism
