Moral absolutism
Moral absolutism is the belief that there are
absolute standard
s against which
moral questions
can be
judged
, and that certain actions are right or wrong, devoid of the context of the act. "Absolutism" is often philosophically contrasted with
moral relativism
, which is a belief that moral truths are relative to
social
,
cultural
,
historical
or
personal
references, and to
situational ethics
, which holds that the morality of an act depends on the context of the act.
