Are we living in a time beyond good and evil?

Have good and evil lost their meanings? Is everything just a matter of preferences?

I assume you’re asking this question because either you’re a moral relativist or you believe that moral relativism is the reigning dogma of our time. Either way we need to examine the possible truth or lack thereof in the doctrine of moral relativism.

How it’s true historically that at different times humans have had different concepts of right and wrong. Additionally it’s true that different cultures have had different concepts of right and wrong. This would seem to be a point in favor of moral relativism. But is it?

At different times and cultures humans have had different concepts of the nature of the universe. The use of reason has allowed humans to figure out that the world was round, that there is a relationship between sex and having children, and thunder is not gods fighting. Reason saw the truth of these things and these things were the truth regardless of what different cultures believed. Couldn’t morality be the same? Meaning couldn’t there be a morality that could be found by reason?

Now if you’re a moral relativism more than likely you’re follower of Heidegger (however more than likely you don’t know this if you are a moral relativist), who saw the world divided between the Platonists and Antiplatonists in regards to the history of metaphysics. In this viewpoint Metaphysics, meaning all the various forms of Platonism (all of philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche), has as a doctrine that Being is presence, meaning we have it in our understanding to fully see the unchanging formal structure of the universe. Now this unchanging structure, whether seen as natural or supernatural, is according to the followers of Heidegger (and those who follow in his wake — the late moderns) now seen as an illusion and therefore as a fake, a mere artifice. The truth, or what passes as the truth since the concept of truth is questionable itself, is, according to the late moderns, that Being is absence. The primacy of freedom is fundamental for we answer to no eternal structures (whether this be God, truth and/or nature, as a regulator of standards). We need to deconstruct the Platonist conception of Being for this leads to the celebration of diversity, toleration and novelty. We must become free, freedom now defined not as the absence of political control but as the celebration of our true selves. Philosophy has been the history of the fake, the artifice of our own mistaken understanding of Being, and now is being deconstructed to make room for our authentic selves. Since there is no foundation to the universe reason, itself, is just a preference and therefore we are living in a time beyond good and evil.

So we are living in a time beyond good and evil if the Antiplatonists are right about Being but that’s a big if. The antiplatonists have only been around for 70 years or so which would suggest that Platonists have a long life. I wouldn’t bet against good and evil just yet.
