What makes them universal is that any human being, in any culture, has the rational capacity to justify these values from their own self-experience. Anyone can adopt a "theoretical attitude" that enables them to suspend the cultural realities they have grown up with, critique them, and arrive at ideas (theories) that hold across time and place. This is the basis for both a science and an ethics that can be shared among different peoples. The actual implementations and applications of that universal science and those universal ethics may of course differ profoundly between different communities.
