Revisiting Kwame Gyekye’s Critique of Normative Cultural Relativism
Abstract
This article examines Kwame Gyekye’s critique of normative cultural relativism. It argues that the implications of normative cultural relativism mentioned by Gyekye do not necessarily undermine the theory. Nevertheless, the article concedes that the fact that Gyekye’s arguments do not undermine normative cultural relativism does not make the theory itself plausible.
Key Words. Contextualism, Cultural Relativism, Communitarianism, Values
