Earlier, @lionelpage.bsky.social argued against absolute moral truths. Here he explains how morality can be relative—operationalized as contractarianism—without being moral relativism, subjectivism, and a range of other -isms.

Is morality relative to each society? This view is common in the public but unpopular among philosophers.
We can see morality as grounded in a society’s social contract--and thus relative--without the usual “anything goes” associated with "relativism".
