contextual morality
by sameer israni on Dec 18, 2007 02:34 AM

Dear Mr Srinivasa-Raghavan,
I understand the part about indians functioning on contextual morality, but it seems to me that this is true for most human beings.
for e.g. a lot of americans offer moral justification for guantanamo bay, torture of prisoners, attacks on iraq etc in the context of the 9/11 and the 'war on terror'.
can you pls give examples of westerners functioning on 'moral absolutes'. in my limited experience this does not seem to be the case
