Relativism has become a formidable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eargument in Western socio-moral thought under the impact of postmodern\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ewritings. The author presents a detailed critique of various relativist and\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003epostmodernist theses, without rejecting some of their empirically justified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eobservations. She underscores the fact that the intercultural communication\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ewhich has been going on since time immemorial puts a question mark to the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003epostmodernist theories of indeterminacy of translation, incommensurability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eof various conceptual frameworks etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author supports cognitivism in ethics according to which the moral\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eproperties of the object of moral judgement do in some way determine or\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'cause' that judgment. This view is not to be confused with any realist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eontological commitment. She asserts that universalizability is the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003enecessary condition of all rational judgments, including the moral ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author also discusses the relationship between self and others; and in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ethis context she draws upon the insights of ancient Indian thinkers.
