But the problem with relativism is that it’s not universalisable. If my personal values inform my moral beliefs, I can’t impose them on others. For example, I think excision is wrong, but if that idea is only rooted in my personal values, I’m not legitimate to oppose it in an other continent, with an other culture, and then other personal values.
Thanks for this interesting answer.
