striktlymi: I understand and agree.

Is it impractical to hold the view of Relativism and still go ahead to correct what is perceived as wrong? I don't think being a Relativist would hold one back from furthering whatever it is the individual considers to be 'appropriate behaviour'.

striktlymi: ...but is truth not relative?

I think that Relativism is an attempt to let people know how unfair it will be to use one 'measuring stick' to judge the actions of men.

See the contradiction in those two posts? That's one of the flaws of relativism. At some point, the relativist shoots himself in the foot especially whenever he dares to correct some other person(s) on what he (the relativist) believes to be wrong

Ubenedictus: Good marwing all.

I've gat a few questions...they are of the moral nature so answer with care.


The first.

Is it moral to be a relativist?

A very interesting debate going on here!!!!!


If we took cultural relativistism seriously, what could be the consequences?
Firstly, we're not allowed to say the practice(s) of another culture is morally inferior to ours. So for instance we cant say our society that respects freedom of speech is better than another where there is political oppression because that would mean that we’re applying a standard for comparison. So when we see journalists being executed for no other reason other than for reporting what they saw(that maybe against the government), we should all keep mute. But political oppression seems wrong no matter the society it happens. But the cultural relativist excuses such practice from being critisized

Secondly, We’re not permitted to criticize the code of conduct of our society:- According to cultural relativism, the way to know if an action is right or wrong is to ask a simple question ‘is this acceptable within the code of the society in which it took place?’
For instance if you want to know if killing an innocent person(just to give a king a befitting burial) is right or wrong, all you need to do is to ask if it conforms to the moral code of the society in question. If yes, you’re good to go at least from a moral point of view. Isnt this idea very worrisome? More often than not, there are practices existing in our cultures that we might want to improve but according to the cultural relativist, we’re barred from considering ways other cultures might be better than ours.

Thirdly, there would be no such thing as moral progress:- Before now, in the western culture, women were not allowed to vote or be voted for, and they couldn’t even own properties not to talk of running for political positions. Also slavery was a normal thing at some point but for job well done by reformers like Martin Luther King Jr. Now, all the things mentioned have changed and we (or at least most people) view it as progress. But cultural relativism wouldn’t have allowed for any such practices to be challenged. By what measuring stick did we arrive at “no slave trade is better than slave trade”

For me,cultural relativism has plenty flaws and cannot be right. So my answer to your question is NO

*runs to the kitchen to make breakfast before my prince charming Rich4god finds me here

Ubenedictus: i've been fine dear, how u dey?

I'm fine sir thanks and welcome back

wonda26:

Bros... Thanks.. I be dey a little busy for one kind thread like that

https://www.nairaland.com/1878872/what-origin-catholic-church

All these our 'brothers' won't let us be...but we dey kampe!

Greetings house.... How was church today? Mine was good. We had our children/youth harvest today: 'Harvest of Testimony' ..... I must testify

I have a prayer request... And by God's grace, I would testify very very soon

Mass was refreshing dear
Amen to your testimony

Rich4god: Welcome dear... I will take this that "you are strong now"... Well, I knw why kamsified is delaying, but make I never talk until she comes...

Ah ah now, I had to take my time to cook for my mil na, before she changes her mind

SalC: Hmm too many mentions thanks all am very ok now, and out of the hospital,

Kamsified you are still cooking since yesterday? Smh

Wait until you taste the food, then u'll understand why it took so long

Welcome back sis you were surely missed

POPEII: Is that why u never checked on me

My boss spiritual , are you saying you didn't see my missed calls

babestell: my dear that is what they said. But its the visibly part am worried about. If the guy nd his wife were doctors how couldn't they have known the diplomat guy was sick with ebola. Unless his was not visible and he was still infectious

My dear if what I read from Sahara is anything to go by, the doctor knew the guy had ebola before receiving him in PH hence he was treating the patient secretly. Interestingly the patient is still alive while d doctor is no more.
Well I hope am the one reading it wrong

Lovethywilbedon: I am LOVETHYWILBEDON signing in

You're welcome dear
We're happy to have you

babestell: So until when you wear the shoe will you know where it pinches. Ever since I heard Ebola was in PHC this morning. I have been very uneasy and i had to run to the bathroom to cry sef. Its very scary considering that the situation was ongoing and people didn't know. Today we tried to do a permutation of how many people had come in contact with the guy and whether they if they got infected could have spread it, and the numbers were too saddening.

Why would someone put others at risk. I wish I could say God punish somebody but I don't know how.

May God help us all

Correct me if am wrong, I heard it's only when you come in contact with a visibly sick ebola patient that you're at risk. If that is the case, pls avoid contact with anyone with any signs that resemble ebola patient & let's trust God with the rest.
It is well with you and yours

Rich4god: If you dey prepare food, no put kiddablingz share o... Cos I don dey eye two of una... How are you doing?
