Relativism, the view that knowledge is relative to time, culture, group and/or individual, remains a pervasive intellectual position in philosophy. This book 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.
