RELATIVISM
In philosophy, relativism is the doctrine that no ideas or beliefs are universally true but that all are, instead, “relative.” That is, their validity depends on the circumstances in which they are applied.
Conceptions of truth and moral values are not absolute but are, instead, relative to the persons or groups holding them. Thus, the moon is not “up,” unless one clearly maps what is “down.”
Abortion to some is absolutely bad in all cases, but to others it is permissible in some, many, or even in all cases.
John Dewey and his school are credited by their critics of being ethical relativists.
