Is Moody-Adams arguing against universal morality?
No, I am not arguing against the possibility of universal moral standards. Rather, I am questioning the common philosophical assumption that such standards can be arrived at through purely abstract, context-independent reasoning. My work emphasizes that our understanding and application of moral principles are deeply embedded in particular cultural and historical circumstances, and that moral progress involves critically navigating these local contexts.
