We assumed ethics needed the seal of
certainty, else it was non-rational. And certainty was to be produced by a
deductive model: the correct actions were derivable from classical first
principles or a hierarchically ranked pantheon of principles. This model,
though, is bankrupt. I suggest we think of ethics as analogous to language usage. There are no univocal rules of grammar and style which uniquely determine the best sentence for a particular situation. Nor is language usage universalizable. Although a sentence or phrase is warranted in one case, it does not mean it is automatically appropriate in like circumstances. Nonetheless, language usage is not subjective. This should not surprise us in the least. All intellectual pursuits are relativistic in just these senses.
