Rachels Analyzes the Structure of Ethical Relativism, Which He Calls

question 4

Multiple Choice

Rachels analyzes the structure of ethical relativism, which he calls "cultural relativism," to show that the claims made by its proponents go beyond what the facts or arguments can establish. He contends that the central argument, "the cultural difference argument," is invalid because even if there is broad cultural disagreement over morality, it does not prove that there is no truth in the matter any more than the fact that flat-Earthers disagree with round-Earthers proves that there is no independent truth of that matter. Rachels points out three unfavorable consequences of cultural relativism that make it implausible. He also points out two virtues of the doctrine.

• A) there is no objective truth in morality.
• B) there are too many premises.
• C) the conclusion follows from the premises.
• D) the conclusion does not follow from the premises.
