While British philosopher David Hume did not advocate for relativist views of morality per se and held nuanced opinions, his thinking has been widely influential in the development of relativism.[citation needed] Practically speaking, such critics will argue that meta-ethical relativism may amount to moral nihilism, or else incoherence.[23] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5219.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5219.txt
