British historian Paul Johnson holds that this philosophy of relativism has helped to “undermine... the highly developed sense of personal responsibility, and of duty towards a settled and objectively true moral code ” that seemed to prevail before the beginning of the 20th century.
Briti ajaloolane Paul Johnson on seisukohal, et relativismi filosoofia on aidanud „õõnestada... sügavat isikliku vastutuse tajumist ning kohusetunnet järgida üldkehtivat ja vaieldamatult õiget moraalikoodeksit ”, mis paistis kehtivat enne 20. sajandi algust.
