 (Sommers, qtd. in Rosenstand, p. 486, 7e). Just after this passage, Rosenstand asks whether Sommers is right: “Can we just pronounce the virtues of decency, civility, honesty, and so forth the ultimate values without any further discussion?….For many, what Sommers is doing is just old-fashioned moralizing…” (p. 489). What does Rosenstand mean by “moralizing”? Explain your understanding of Sommers’s repudiation of moral and ethical relativism. Is her view convincing enough to make a relativist change her stripes? How does Sommers’s view connect up with virtue ethics? [Note: You can get a quick survey of Sommers’s viewpoint in brief video commentaries here:  https://www.aei.org/scholar/christina-hoff-sommers/]
