ABSTRACT
Locke begins the second part of his chapter by remarking that Kohlberg's reasons for and rejection of ethical relativism "are correct and familiar enough, though experience shows that they are points which need to be made again for each new generation.' Rightly, Locke observes that ethical relativism is the "(ultimately incoherent) doctrine that these different moralities are all equally valid, and equally correct.' Oddly enough, he concludes his crisp and telling critique of Kohlberg by saying to each of us that "perhaps, like rne , you do not think that there is one right judgment, a correct solution' to the lifeboat example, and that "to insist that there must be a correct solution, the same for everyone ... seems in this instance to be a mark of moral simplicity.'
