- W4310290465 abstract "Some of our cross-cultural moral differences seem irreconcilable. The notion of local moral certainty, that I outlined (2018), opens a new possibility for understanding such irreconcilability. My previous account, which draws on the Wittgensteinian notion of basic moral certainty, highlights the role played by a particular class of moral belief within discrete moral communities. On this view, some moral beliefs act as foundation for other less certain moral beliefs, and some of these foundational beliefs are held so only within specific historical communities. These beliefs are held indubitably and are not open to change through rational means. Plausible examples of this, explored here, might be the wrongness of the cultic use of pigs’ blood in ancient Judaism, or the rightness of hospitality among the modern Pashtun. These moral beliefs are not shared by all humans, at least not as basic certainties, yet they form part of the indubitable ground of the moral frameworks of some historical communities. In this chapter I point out some reasons for thinking mutual moral understanding possible, even if some local moral beliefs are beyond rational doubt in some cultural contexts. In short, I argue that, though we may not always be able to believe with local-certainty-believers, some significant level of understanding is possible. However, I also explore the limits of such understanding and conclude that we must necessarily be outsiders vis-à-vis particular moral communities, if local moral certainties are at stake." @default.
