FARRELL, Martín. Una defensa de la dimensión temporal del relativismo ético. Anal. filos. [online]. 2003, vol.23, n.2, pp.151-166. ISSN 1851-9636.

Suppose that we can affirm that the principle "Do not halm others without their consent" is a universally valid moral principle. This assertion, however, does'nt completely undermine moral relativism, because the theory has also a temporal dimension. An action, or an institution (e. g. slavery) can be judged right for the remote past and v.;rong for the XXI century. This papel' tries to show the plausibility of the temporal dimension of moral relativism.
