Title: Relativism
Description: The course will explore various kinds of relativism: cultural relativism about beliefs concerning matters of fact; conceptual relativism, deriving from claims about the existence of distinct and, perhaps, incompatible conceptual schemes; something called "epistemic relativism"; and moral relativism of various kinds. We will look for the common structure of the various relativisms--if there is one--and explore whether relativism in any of these domains is plausible.
Prerequisites: One philosophy course or permission of instructor.
Professors: Kwame A. Appiah
