dc.description.abstract This study examines the long-standing dispute between the moral relativist and moral Universalist. Relativism is recent years has been in the ascendancy in intellectual circles and has been associated with the intellectual fashions of different discipline in philosophy. Therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the nature of moral judgment and its application to present metropolitan world. In this scenario modern moral relativist Gilbert Harman made an excellence contributes to develop and clarify the concept of moral relativism. According to him, it has no a single true morality. There are a variety of possible moralities or moral frames of reference and whether something is morally right or wrong, good or bad, just or unjust, etc. is a relative matter-relative to one or another morality or moral frame of reference. Something can be morally right relative to one moral frame of reference and morally wrong relative to another. David B Wong argue that a relativist theory can account for a considerable measure of moral objectivity and that it provides maximal reconciliation between those features of experience suggesting moral objectivity and moral subjectivity. Wong believes that the relativism can provide the best explanation to the diversity and disagreement of moral belief. He aware that absolute have ways of trying to explains diversity and disagreement but in the end he argues that their explanations are inadequate. Wong go beyond the relativism and he introduced the new concept that is pluralistic relativism. This research paper will introduce and evaluate relativistic thoughts on morality from Harman and Wong in comparatively.
