Moral Relativism and Human Rights

In this show, we discuss moral relativism, the philosophical view that holds that moral truths are relative to a culture. However, the notion of "human rights" seems to negate this view and the emergence of the International Criminal Court (ICC) seems to point towards a world in which relativism is no longer tenable. In this show, we discuss the impact of the ICC on theories of moral subjectivism and relativism.
