certain neutrality regarding the substantive content of the text underlies
structuralism. In fact, the theory is more or less indifferent to
questions of philosophy or morality. The theory concentrates
exclusively on relationships. However, this does not mean that
the theory promotes moral relativism.
To the contrary, the structuralist method may uncover binary points of view inherent in the relationships. Once the different positions are uncovered, the interpreter of the text then may make the final decision as to what is right or wrong within the content of the text.
In this regard, the theory has something in common with the type of constructed neutrality facilitated by some electronic media.
