Synopsis
Recent years have seen a vigorous revival of interest in relativism - both in support and in opposition. This collection of 21 essays, 16 of which appear in print here for the first time, advances the discussion found in an earlier volume, "Relativism: Cognitive and Moral". These present selections focus on philosophical and methodological issues of relativism by exhibiting its varieties and by rehearsing its virtues and vices. The contributions concern relativism in a wide range of practices in the human studies. The ways in which the contributors construe relativism vary considerably, as do their critical attitudes toward it.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine-. 503 pages. "This volume collects recent studies on relativism to exhibit its varieties and to rehearse its virtues and vices. Hardly a philosophical issue is untouched by the challenges of relativism, and the ways in which contributors take relativism vary considerably, as do their critical attitudes toward it. But we may broadly characterize relativism as holding, characteristically, that cognitive, moral, aesthetic claims involving such values as truth, meaningfulness, rightness, reasonableness, appropriateness, aptness, or the life are relative to the contest in which they appear." FINE- HARDCOVER, with 18 pages neatly underlined in thin red lines, and a few annotations. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 023759
