relativism in political philosophy
Relativism in political philosophy is the belief that moral or ethical truths and principles are not absolute, but rather depend on the individual's perspective, cultural norms, or historical context. It argues that there is no universal or objective standard by which political actions, laws, or decisions can be morally judged, as values and beliefs vary across different societies and times.
