ABSTRACT
Diversity of Morals. I think we have no real idea either how to answer or even properly to investigate the question; how much moral diversity is there? I was struck when conducting an interview with the late Sir Isaiah Berlin, often thought of as an arch-advocate of value pluralism, by his statement that ‘more people in more countries at more times accept more common values than is often believed’ (Berlin 1998:119). Political philosophers and others talk and write as though we have a handle on this question, but we do not. Perhaps, after all, the cannibals have more to teach us liberals than we realise.
