"...relativism is the holistic idea that all cultures have the same value, the same ethic dignity, or that each culture has its own values, which cannot be compared to other ones.

Let's suppose that a community is perverse, and in the name of its perverse culture, attacks us. Would we have the right to defend ourselves? Why should we? How could we if all cultures deserve the same respect?"

Milton, Areopagitica

that quiets the desire even of praising it.
