stanch socialist and righteous royalist are equally right; they just occupy different moral worldviews. Relativism has been widely criticized. It is attacked as being sophomoric‚ pernicious‚ and even incoherent. Moral philosophers‚ theologians‚ and social scientists try to identify objective values so as to forestall the relativist menace.
