Activity 1: Introduction
Cultural Relativism, Subjectivism, and Egoism are some of the major modern post-Kantian ethical theories. Modern Ethical thought has largely hinged on these theories. Cultural Relativism examines moral philosophy in relation to how different cultures and social structures view similar issues. Subjectivism suggests that moral opinions are based on human feelings. Egoism suggests that pursuing individual self-interest drives ethical behavior.
