Steven Lukes, Moral Relativism Picador, 2008

If we find another society's cultural practices repulsive or inhumane, can we condemn those practices as morally wrong? Or is it presumptuous and ethnocentric to do so? In a new book, Steven Lukes explores the terrain of moral relativism and highlights efforts to identify moral norms and values that transcend nation and culture. (Encore presentation.)
