Pojman's Arguments Against Conventionalism
- If relativism is right, then criticism of those outside our
culture is impossible. (IP3 493b)
- If relativism is right, then moral reformers are always wrong.
(IP3 493b)
- "Conventionalist relativism seems to reduce to subjectivism. And
subjectivism leads ... to the demise
of morality altogether." (IP3
494b)
