摘　　要：任何文化都有其相对和绝对的属性,文化的绝对性是它的普遍性特征,文化的相对性是它的特殊性特征。文化相对主义就是否认文化的普遍性,夸大或只强调文化的相对性、特殊性的一面,把它们抬高到绝对的地位。这显然是错误的。文化的普遍性或客观性源自人先天存在,而伦理道德的规范就是用来保护人的基本权利和限制人的无限自由的,我们应当坚持文化或道德的客观性,反对文化或道德的相对主义。Each culture has the property of relativity and absoluteness. The former indicates the charac- teristic of its particularity, and the latter implies that of its universality. The culture relativism denies the uni- versality while exaggerates or only emphasizes cultural relativity and particularity even to the highest degree, which is obviously wrong. The universality or objectivity of culture originates from the prior existence of man, and the moral principle is just used to protect the fundamental human rights and to constrain the unlimited freedom. Therefore, we should insist the cultural or moral objectivity, and oppose the relativism.
