Harman’s Moral Relativism

Moral relativism, a theory typically beclouded by inexact formulations and confusions with cultural relativism, has recently been defended lucidly and forcefully by Gilbert Harman. His article has the dual virtues of carefully stating the version of moral relativism being proposed and drawing explicit attention to the logical grounds underlying his advocacy. Indeed, Harman characterizes his relativism as “a soberly logical thesis,” and it is as such that it deserves analysis.
