Universalism (Philosophy)

Universalism in philosophy is the belief that moral principles, truths, or values are universal and apply to all people regardless of culture, context, or individual differences. It holds that certain ethical standards or notions of what’s right and wrong are globally valid and not relative to particular societies or situations. This view emphasizes the idea of universal human rights, shared moral responsibilities, and the existence of objective moral truths that transcend cultural boundaries. Essentially, Universalism advocates for common moral ground that unites humanity under consistent ethical principles.
