Moral relativism attracts and repels. What is defensible in it and what is to be rejected? Do we as human beings have no shared standards by which we can understand one another? Can we abstain from judging one another's practices? Do we truly have divergent views about what constitutes good and evil, virtue and vice, harm and welfare, dignity and humiliation, or is there some underlying commonality that trumps it all?

I did a cover similar to this once for a book about the year 2013 (supposed end of the world according to the Mayan Calendar). It had a atomic bomb in one glass and a beautiful tree in the other...
This is very pleasant.
