This essay critically engages with and moves toward reconceptualizing the concept of cultural relativism. In ongoing public policy and academic debates, cultural relativism has become a nuanced idea generating diverse perspectives from various segments of the political continuum.

What is often negated in understanding cultural relativism's normative underpinnings is the decolonization phenomenon. Although cultural...

Naturally, like all drinking parties, absurdity is bound to be mixed with philosophy— but the overall mood is light and the celebratory atmosphere. Far from these reasons, it is appropriate that the Symposium's theme is love, for if there is one subject that captures the ethereal, it is love. Or, in other words: Plato uses...

As we consider the Philippa Foot thought experiment, both Mill and Kant’s beliefs can be applied in order to glean a better understanding of the relevant morals. Utilitarianism advocates a focus not solely on individual happiness but also the consideration of all happiness, of net happiness in any outcome....
