— Edward Sri's \"Who Am I To Judge?: Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love\" examines the classical view of morality, encouraging Catholics to compassionately speak the truth and engage relativism. Hosted by Doug Keck.
— "Don't be so judgmental!""Why are Christians so intolerant?""Why can't we just coexist?"In an age in which preference has replaced morality, many people find it difficult to speak the truth, afraid of the reactions they will receive if they say something is right or wrong. Using engaging stories and personal experience, Edward Sri helps us understand the classical view of morality and equips us to engage relativism, appealing to both the head and the heart. Learn how Catholic morality is all about love, why making a judgment is not judging a person's soul, and why, in the words of Pope Francis, "relativism wounds people." Topics include:• Real Freedom, Real Love• Sharing truth with compassion• Why "I disagree" doesn't mean "I hate you"
— Alasdair MacIntyre explores some central philosophical, political and moral claims of modernity and argues that a proper understanding of human goods requires a rejection of these claims. In a wide-ranging discussion, he considers how normative and evaluative judgments are to be understood, how desire and practical reasoning are to be characterized, what it is to have adequate self-knowledge, and what part narrative plays in our understanding of human lives. He asks, further, what it would be to understand the modern condition from a neo-Aristotelian or Thomistic perspective, and argues that Thomistic Aristotelianism, informed by Marx's insights, provides us with resources for constructing a contemporary politics and ethics which both enable and require us to act against modernity from within modernity. This rich and important book builds on and advances MacIntyre's thinking in ethics and moral philosophy, and will be of great interest to readers in both fields.
Relativism is a very general term for a whole range of positions. There are two questions to ask that help determine the kind of relativism that is at issue. First, what is it that is held to be relative? And second what it the unit of relativity? Some say that truth is relative, or that values are, or that reality is, in other words that something is not true absolutely, or good objectively, or real in itself, but true, or good or real for someone or other. This raises the question of to or for whom, and there are three answers: a) relative to an individual, b) a group, c) human beings in general. Relativism is often argued for on the basis that different people may have different beliefs and standards, or that there is intractable disagreement about what is true or good, etc. Critics of relativism point out that difference and disagreement in belief are compatible with there being some truth about the matter independently of what people think. Additionally, it is observed that relativism seems self-refuting: saying all truth is relative amounts to saying it is true (non-relativistically) that truth is relative which is to say both that truth is and that it is not relative, which is a contradiction. These points notwithstanding relativism has been remains popular perhaps because it is thought to respect the diversity of views.
