PHL162 Assignment 2

1. On page 96 of your reading (it’s page 3 of the pdf document), Kopelman writes that “advocates of female circumcision/genital mutilation do not say, ‘We approve of these rituals, and that is the end of the matter.’” Why does she think that this is important? According to her, what does this allow us to do? Give an example to illustrate. (about 100 words)

2. On page 101, Kopelman begins to discuss criticisms of ethical relativism. She presents four. Pick the one that you find most interesting or compelling (or perhaps simply the one you have the most to say about) and explain the criticism in your own words. Explain why you picked it and what you think about it. (about 100 words)

3. Finally on page 103, Kopelman considers some responses on behalf of cultural ethical relativists. Which do you find most interesting or compelling (or perhaps simply the one you have the most to say about) and explain the criticism in your own words. Explain why you picked it and what you think about it. (about 100 words)
