Fieldwork in Familiar Places: Morality, Culture, and Philosophy
Michele M. Moody-Adams
Moral relativism and pessimism, and the denigration of ethics in comparison with science are the results of widespread skepticism about the objectivity of morality. The author examines anthropological evidence for moral relativism, and finds that the complexity of cultures will always thwart efforts to confine moral judgments to a single culture.
