Margaret Wente – Absolutism and Tolerance



2002, Cultural Studies
Presented By: Margaret Wente

“We have to think hard about cultural relativism and also about moral absolutism because sometimes there are cases in which absolutism is correct and tolerance will get us into a lot of trouble.” Margaret Wente tells us several stories that question morality of parents and their decisions, and how the state quickly intervenes.
