I've since recommended this miniseries to a number of friends and colleagues. It's well worth the watch, and deserves its high ratings.

The makers of the miniseries also did the documentary. I'm looking forward to that as well.

In other words, there are consequences for your actions.

How is moral relativism affected by the Legasov quote?

How is moral relativism affected by the Legasov quote?

Moral relativists believe that morality is subjective, that there is no such thing as a moral fact because it can't be measured.

The quote is a brilliant device to help explain the concept that moral facts (moral realism) exist. Those moral facts are the consequences. Consequences can be observed and measured.

That's why amorality seeks to abort the consequences. Can't be having the reality of your actions messing up the utopia of "do whatever you want, it's all relative."

I was in Kiev in 1989 and security was keeping citizens away, but, I did see workers going in and out. Spooky!

Without delving into the various senses of moral relativism, we can still show that the Legasov quote doesn't undermine it, necessarily. This is because the Legasov quote isn't value-laden in the way we need to undermine relativism. We can claim we all inhabit the same world where there exist objective facts. But for Legasov to pertain, we need an extra step--the sharing of values. Moral relativism usually claims that values are relativized to communities.
