Description

Product Description Relativism, an ancient philosophical doctrine, is once again a topic of heated debate. In this book, Maria Baghramian and Annalisa Coliva present the recent arguments for and against various forms of relativism. The first two chapters introduce the conceptual and historical contours of relativism. These are followed by critical investigations of relativism about truth, conceptual relativism, epistemic relativism, and moral relativism. The concluding chapter asks whether it is possible to make sense of relativism as a philosophical thesis. The book introduces readers to the main types of relativism and the arguments in their favor. It also goes beyond the expository material to engage in more detailed critical responses to the key positions and authors under discussion. Including chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary, Relativism is essential reading for students of philosophy as well as those in related disciplines where relativism is studied, such as anthropology, sociology, and politics. Review 'A rich store of exposition and critical appraisal of a very wide variety of relativist stances and criticisms of these.To have covered so much ground is a very considerable achievment...a major, if not indeed definitive, systematic work on objectivity and relativism.' - The Philosophical Quarterly 'This is an excellent, timely and very useful book. It is a scholarly and and fair-minded treatment of a vast subject that, none-the-less, manages to be succinct and beautifully clear.' - Nursing Philosophy About the Author Maria Baghramian is Full Professor of American Philosophy, Head of the School of Philosophy, and Co-director of the Cognitive Science Programme at University College Dublin, Ireland.
