Just before Eugene spanks
us, it is a conceptual confusion to label all forms of secular morality as
relativistic. A commitment to the principle that individuals should determine
their own values, or even that societies should determine their own values is as
universalistic and absolutistic as can be. It's just that such a principle does
not conform to other universalistic and absolutistic principles that specify in
advance how individuals should behave in every area of their lives.
