Maybe so. If the past several decades of articles, ethics textbooks, and my own graduate education in moral philosophy are any indication, almost no one takes moral relativism seriously. J. David Velleman has another take — and I think he's probably onto something very important. Just thought I'd share his very intriguing article, "Foundations for Moral Relativism", with y'all. I'm also curious to hear what you all think of it!
