"Relativism" (M. R. Cohen)

Relativism, as discussed by M. R. Cohen, is the philosophical view that moral principles and judgments are not absolute or universally fixed but are shaped by cultural, social, and individual contexts. It suggests that what is considered morally right or wrong can vary between societies and that no single set of moral standards holds supreme over others. Instead, moral truths are seen as relative to specific cultural or personal perspectives, emphasizing understanding and tolerance of differing moral viewpoints rather than asserting one universal standard.
