Summary of the views we looked at so far. Shafer-landau looks at some popular arguments for moral skepticism . The claim: ethical objectivism conflicts with the idea that we should be tolerant of other cultures or ways of life. Nth such as righ/wrong, so nth we ought to do. Allows us to make sense of it. Even if we don"t agree, we must be tolerant. Then some personal and social ethical codes would be morally inferior to others. And so it would be ok to treat them as such. So ethical objectivism leads to intolerance. (p. 31)
