This book is a study of relativism as a dominant intellectual preoccupation of our time. Relativism asks how we are to find a way out of intractable differences of perspectives and disagreements in various domains. Standards of truth, rationality, and ethical right and wrong vary greatly and there are no universal criteria for adjudicating between them. In considering this problem, relativism suggests that what is true or right can only be determined within variable contexts of assessment. This book brings together articles published in the International Journal of Philosophical Studies over...

'It's all relative'. In a world of increasing cultural diversity, where quantum physics erodes our beliefs in the laws of nature, and where the thinking habits and moral codes of remote peoples are at odds with our own, it can seem that everything is indeed relative. But are we prepared to concede that there is no such thing as right and wrong, and no objective truth? The label 'relativism' covers a variety of philosophical positions which claim that standards of truth, rationality or ethical right and wrong vary between times, places, and contexts. In Relativism, Maria Baghramian surveys the...

The turn of the twentieth century witnessed the birth of two distinct philosophical schools in Europe: analytic philosophy and phenomenology. The history of 20th-century philosophy is often written as an account of the development of one or both of these schools, as well as their overt or covert mutual hostility. What is often left out of this history, however, is the relationship between the two European schools and a third significant philosophical event: the birth and development of pragmatism, the indigenous philosophical movement of the United States. Through a careful...
