Abstract:
The arguments proposed in the following pages may seem startling or even ridiculous. I myself feel uneasy about many of the conclusions drawn. Perhaps, if the reader would permit, a brief discussion on what sort of concerns caused me to make a case for complete moral relativity would make lucid some of the motivations for claiming some of the things I do, and for taking such an extremely individualistic stance. The following paragraphs are purely personal and no attempt to academically prove them has been made. They are not necessary in any way-either to the academic argument or to the reader. The sole motive for reading them would be to understand the author's personal motivation in pursuing the arguments that follow.
