At the same time, it is necessary to reject moral fundamentalism that lights passions leading to political violence and social destruction. At the same time, however, it is necessary to reject moral relativism or cynicism and to oppose the absolutism of morality to put the possibility of ethical life as what our existence states, but at the same time it makes sense.
