Ethics, Human Rights and Culture: Beyond Relativism and Universalism

By Xiaorong Li

Book Overview

Is it possible, given culturally incongruent perspectives, to validate any common standards of behaviour? Is cultural relativity be a problem when cultures are porous? Can we implement human rights without incorporating the idea into the fabric of culture? This book addresses such questions with an inventive and original understanding of culture.
