Morality

Name: Anonymous 2008-05-07 14:15

What are your feelings about the Australian incest/rapist Josef Fritzel?
Many here  seem to be moral relativists so I'm assuming what he did would not be considered a perversion by some because his morality said it was o.k. for him to do what he did.

I don't think anyone in the world is the kind of "moral relativist" that you describe.  Just because someone doesn't believe that morals come from a giant space god doesn't mean that a person can't be revulsed by other people's behaviour.

I didn't say anything about god.
What I'd like to find out is, from those that consider themmselves moral relativists, what guides the morals that you do have?

OP again
Let me try to elaborate a little better what I'm lookin for.

If your a moral relativist, where is the line drawn to where you say "that's sick, that's perversion" as opposed to saying "you can't judge that person by YOUR morality."

You didn't have to say about gods, because the term "moral relativist" is most commonly used by people who believe that morals come from outside human thought, that is, that there is a set of moral standards that is the best and that set is sourced from a god.

If you are a moral absolutist that doesn't source your morals from a god, then that's more reasonable.  However, any reasonable person who trusts their own judgement will believe that their morals are the best.  And will recognize that other people are that way too, but with different set of morals.  You can recognize that fact and still be free to trust in the superiority of your own moral set.  So your problem as posed is not really a problem that people have, ie I don't think anyone in the world is the kind of "moral relativist" that you describe.  Other than giant pussies.  Maybe hippies?

Morals are on a whole are set by the collective will of the society that you are in.

That's all well and good, and I thank you for your input but could you please answer the question about where a moral relativist draws the line? And what guides the decision to draw the line?
