Relativism can be found in all philosophical traditions and subfields of philosophy. It is also a central idea in the social sciences, the humanities, religion and politics. This is the first volume to map relativistic motifs in all areas of philosophy, synchronically and diachronically. It thereby provides essential intellectual tools for thinking about contemporary issues like cultural diversity, the plurality of the sciences, or the scope of moral values.

Relativism in non-Western philosophical traditions

Relativism in Western philosophical traditions

Relativism in ethics

Relativism in political and legal philosophy

Relativism in epistemology

Relativism in metaphysics

Relativism in philosophy of science
