Beginning with a review of the major traditional definitions of relativism and the classical arguments against it, this book examines twentieth-century accounts and defenses of relativism and points out that each account faces problems similar to those of the traditional versions.

Offers a comprehensive introduction to relativism and how it applies to the different parts of the basic, foundational areas of philosophy and, indeed, to various areas of human enquiry. This book provides a summary of the role of relativism in three key academic disciplines: science, politics, and religion.
