I would describe Eliezer's position as
standard relativism,
minus the popular confusion that relativism means that you would or could choose to find no moral arguments compelling,
plus the belief that nearly all humans would, with sufficient reflection, find nearly the same moral arguments compelling because of our shared genetic heritage.
Eliezer objects to being called a relativist, but I think that this is just semantics.
If we're talking about the meanings of terms, how is semantics not a relevant question?
You asked what Eliezer claims, not for the words that he uses to claim it.
