Ethics Theory and Business Practice 6.1 Ethical Relativism – Part One Some Features of Ethical Relativism

aims to outline some ways in which an ethical-relativist approach to business ethics differs from an ethical-absolutist approach explain why ethical relativism does not necessarily entail ethical indifference

ethical relativism challenges the idea that the same standards of ethics should apply everywhere is concerned with exploring variations in people’s attitudes towards ethics and considering why these variations might exist puts a lot of emphasis on ethical autonomy; encourages people to give expression to their own, deepest ethical convictions

contrasting ethical relativism to ethical universalism across three dimensions: the relevance of place the nature of ethical statements how to work out what is right and wrong

1. the relevance of place relativism vs universalism ethical absolutism seeks universal standards that can be applied everywhere ethical relativists explore differences that are relative to place

2. the nature of ethical statements subjectivism vs objectivism ethical absolutism seeks objective truths about ethics ethical relativism considers that ethics may be a matter of subjective opinion

3. how to work out what is right and wrong emotion vs reason ethical absolutism emphasises the role that reason plays in ethical judgement ethics involves detached, dispassionate application of abstract, theoretically derived principles ethical relativism emphasises the role that emotion plays in ethical judgement highlights the importance of proximity to ethics
