Moral Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Midair
UCLA 2001
Summary: Moral relativism, says Koukl, is not an alternative way to think about morality, nor is it a refinement of how we are to think of morality—rather, it is an outright denial of morality. In this talk, Koukl addresses what he calls the "myth of moral neutrality," discusses the implications of moral relativity, and illuminates several fatal flaws inherent to the moral relativist position. Ultimately, he argues that moral relativism is untenable and that the best reason for the existence of morality is a moral Lawgiver.
Topics: Relativism, Ethics, Theology & Religious Studies
In this lecture, Koukl is very, very persuasive. He is not only informative, he is also quite entertaining at times with his style. I think this is one of the best lectures Veritas offers.
