An innovative and eminently readable re-engagement with the
evergreen challenge relativism poses to epistemological projects.
Lorraine Code, Distinguished Research Professor of Philosophy, York
University, Canada
In this accessible and closely argued work the author gives a clear
elucidation of relativism in its various formulations and enactments
accompanied with a useful catalogue of counter arguments.
Stuart Shanker, Distinguished Research Professor of Philosophy and
Psychology, York University, Canada
Relativism, the view that knowledge is relative to time, culture, group and/or
individual, remains a pervasive and influential intellectual position in philosophy
and throughout the humanities. Since ancient times, relativists have been viewed
as villains of truth and knowledge. They have undermined optimistic explanations
of how we know things and instead have grounded knowledge in the ever-
changing world of human opinion. But is the relativists notorious reputation
justified?
In this important new book Patrick Phillips investigates several varieties of
relativism proposed over the centuries and identifies relativism as a central strand
of thought that permeates much of post-colonial and postmodern thinking. He
investigates the reasons that contribute to the evergreen status of relativism and
asks: why does relativism remain a constant occurrence in the writings of the
humanities and what accounts for its popular appeal?
Patrick J. J. Phillips teaches Philosophy at York University, Canada.
