Moral relativism, truth and justification

In this chapter of the reading, Alasdair Macintyre argues how truth and rational
justification works between objectivism and relativism. A concept of relativism says
that there cannot be an absolute truth, only the ones that a particular individual or
culture happens to believe. And in his essay MacIntyre argues how relativism
works and how truth can be seen from different points of view. In a first argument
he says that an asseveration can have a rational argument and possibly be true,
but in the other hand there can also be another asseveration that could be well
argued and also be true, but there can only be one absolute truth and the
justification of it cancels out any other rational asseveration or point of view that
tries to decline it. This is one of the two types of truth that can be approached. This
eliminates all type of moral relativism, because this argument defends the idea that
morality is different for each person. And that if there’s a rational justification of
these person ideas it is valid and true for that person, showing us that relativism
doesn’t guides us to the truth, the circumstances are the ones that make them
relative. And in the other hands there’s an objective truth, which says there is one
absolute truth that one can change due universal values established time ago, so
these rules have to be followed by everyone. And this applies even tough you’ve
been raised in other culture, other time, civilization or country. All of the education
everyone has ever received do not modifies objectivist theory, because everyone
needs to adapt to it.

In conclusion I agree the fact in some cases there’s only one absolute truth even
though we do not agree with it or it goes against our beliefs, this truth has been
forged for so long our critics to it doesn’t matter, everyone agrees with it and no
one can change the fact things are the way they are, but also not all of the truths
are absolute, because there can be isolated cases were it depends in the
perspective of the situation and were moral takes place because judgments can be
different for every situation.
