Commentary on Evanoff

Abstract

"Richard Evanoff's paper, A Constructivist Approach to Intercultural Ethics is very useful for us when thinking about international ethics and cultural diversity. He thinks that our world view and value judgments are more or less determined by our cultural and historical contexts, however, "we are always free to abandon those constructions if we find, or can come up with, something that we think is better." In this sense he stays just between determinist and relativist."
