Do you recall a time when Christians and other people of right reason viewed relativism as their enemy? Pope Benedict XVI cautioned that the notion that "you have your truth and I have mine" was so entrenched and pernicious that it posed a threat to all of our freedoms.
Then, practically overnight, we start hearing that it is no longer a concern. Why? Because the majority of individuals in today's "woke" world are moralists rather than relativists. They impose a long list of new, ostensibly unbreakable "commandments" to ensure that we never engage in racism, sexism, judgment, bigotry, or any number of other abhorrent behaviors. Therefore, relativism must be obsolete and old news.
Karlo Broussard writes in The New Relativism, "Not so fast." Relativism's dictatorship is not gone; it is merely hiding—in the guise of woke moralism. The same fundamental relativism mistakes are still present when you scratch these contemporary rules that we are expected to live by; they may have taken on new forms, but they are still just as harmful to our society and our faith.
Karlo breaks down the numerous kinds and flavors of the new relativism, exposing their contemporary woke disguises and demonstrating how to demolish them piece by piece using examples that are both timeless and current, like the news today. Even more significantly, he demonstrates how to swap out bad "commandments" for ones that represent a moral and intellectual cosmos of unchanging truth.
"Karlo Broussard does the important and foundational work of refuting wokeism without polemics or ridicule, but with the simple conviction that we are made for truth. In a time of much coercion and confusion, The New Relativism is a clarifying and compelling read." -Noelle Mering, author of Awake, Not Woke
