Marsha said to dmb:
Sorry, but I don't even remember you giving an adequate definition of
'relativism,' let alone making a case against it.
dmb says:
That's not fair. In answering you directly, I already explained that there is
more than one kind of "relativism" and that the debate between Steve and I was
mostly about truth relativism or cognitive relativism. There is a strong
ethnocentric aspect of Rorty's work that also gets into cultural relativism.
The debate between Steve and I mostly focused on specific and concrete issues
as they were presented in books by Hickman, Hildebrand, Pirsig, and in the
Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy. If that's not good enough for you, then
it's hard to imagine what could be.
Maybe you should look into it for yourself. Much has been written.
