Ha, well, I'm certainly not buying the 'simpleton' claim!
But let's see if I can express myself a little more clearly... I guess I'm asking whether people think that acts are right or wrong in and of themselves (or claims true or false in and of themselves), on the one hand, or whether what is right and what is true vary according to context. Do morality and/or truth mean anything independently of what individuals or societies deem to be right or true?
Hope that helps a bit. Please let me know, though, if not!
Thanks very much,
E
