non-absolutism

Non-absolutism is the philosophical view that moral, cultural, or ethical truths are not fixed or universally absolute. Instead, they can vary based on context, perspective, or individual circumstances. It recognizes that different societies or individuals may hold competing but valid beliefs, and that these beliefs are shaped by specific environments or experiences. Non-absolutism encourages understanding and tolerance, acknowledging that there is often no single “right” answer in complex moral or cultural issues, and that truth can be more nuanced and adaptable rather than rigid and fixed.
