==Relativism==

==Relativism==

This is the most [[nihilism|nihilistic]] view, which recognizes a plurality of points of view, interpretations, frames of reference and value systems, and admits to the fact that knowledge and ethical positions are contingent on context, and judgments are entirely arbitrary. Epistemologically, Relativism requires that knowledge, answers and choices are dependent upon particular features of a context, and are evaluated or justified through arbitrarily imposed rule-based systems. A good example of relativism is in the workings of the judicial system. Although the killing of an individual is judged by society to be wrong, there are a number different ways in which that killing can be classified, and when sentencing, contextual details of the particular case are crucial in determining an appropriate custodial or other sentence.
