A fifth argument againt the theory of ethical relativism is that it contradicts itself, and so must logocally be false. Soppose, for example, that two people, each from a different culture, are arguing about moral principles. One culture believes that there are universal moral principles that apply across cultures and time. The other culture believes in the theory of ethical relativism. The person from the culture that believes in ethical relativism then tries to convince the other to adopt ethical relativism. To do so, however, violates the ethics of ethical relativism- the ethical relativist is attempting to impose his or her ethical principle on others, which is unethical to do under the ethical relativist’s own ethics. Thus, ethical relativists must not, under their own ethical standards, attempt to impose their relativist beliefs on others who believe in universal moral principles. Since ethical relativism is unethical under its own princople, it must be false.
