Challenges of Egoism and Relativism Discussion
Challenges, Egoism, Relativism, Discussion
This week you will have one discussion focused on the challenges of egoism and/or
relativism discussed in Chapter 2 of the textbook. Your instructor will be choosing the
discussion question and posting it as the first post in the discussion forum. The
requirements for the discussion this week include the following:
· You must answer all the questions in the prompt and show evidence of having read
the resources that are required to complete the discussion properly (such as by using
quotes, referring to specific points made in the text, etc.).
· All postings (including replies to peers) are expected to be thought out, proofread for
mechanical, grammatical, and spelling accuracy, and to advance the discussion in an
intelligent and meaningful way (i.e., saying something like “I really enjoyed what you
had to say” will not count). You are also encouraged to do outside research and quote
from that as well.
Please read the general discussion requirements above, as well as the announcements
explaining the discussion requirements and answering the most frequently asked
questions. If you are still unsure about how to proceed with the discussion, please reply
to one of those announcements or contact your instructor.
After reading Chapter 2 of the textbook, reflect on the following:
What is an ethical belief that you feel strongly about, but you know it is not shared by
some people of other cultures? This can be a belief that certain things are right or good,
or that certain things are wrong or bad. (Be sure to differentiate between cultures and
societies – a society like that of the U.S. contains many different cultures.)
1. Reflect on yourself:
What are the reasons for your belief? Try to explain as succinctly as possible the main
reason(s) why you have the belief that this is right/wrong or good/bad.
Do you consider this to be something you were merely conditioned to believe, or do you
think these beliefs represent your own independent thought and reflection? Explain.
2. Reflect on the other:
If you were to try to explain and defend the contrary beliefs of some from another
culture, how would you do that? (I.e., do your best to speak from their point of view
about why they hold certain beliefs on this issue.)
If you had to identify an assumption, background conviction, or way of thinking that best
explains why someone from another culture would have a different belief, what would
that be?
3. Engage with the text:
Considering what the textbook says about moral relativism, would you consider your
belief to be objective or relative? That is, do you think your belief is true (or at least
stronger) in comparison to the other cultures, or do you think it’s merely relative to your
own culture?
If you think it’s true (or stronger), explain why. If you think it’s merely relative, choose
one of the objections to relativism raised in the text, briefly explain it, and defend your
position against that objection.
