The thing about the baseball bat is some people do prefer to settle things with violence. The person attacked will probably prefer not to be attacked and will use whatever means necessary to end the attack. |
Let's take the statement "there are no moral absolutes," a universal negative.
It can be restated "all values are relative." We will come back to that.
If all values are relative, then my value is genocide against the Jews.
I am using a reductio to show the absurdity of a statement. It may seem logically coherent, but I do not believe that moral statements and epistemological statements can be evaluated separate from one another.
