It has captivated thinkers since the days of Protagoras (who supported the notion) and Plato (who did not). Relativism is assailed by popes as leading people away from absolute religious truths, and blamed by social commentators for many of society's ills. With a few notable exceptions, twentieth-century philosophers grew to dismiss relativism as an obviously mistaken or even self-refuting concept. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut in the past decade, even its staunchest philosophical critics have come to realize that relativism is a legitimate option for explaining a variety of phenomena, including faultless disagreement, the utility of alternative logics, varieties of cross-cultural moralities, and differing ontological conceptual schemes. Reflecting this overdue reappraisal, \u003ci\u003eA Companion to Relativism\u003c\/i\u003e presents the latest thinking on the role of relativism in the philosophy of language, epistemology, ethics, philosophy of science, logic, and metaphysics. Original contributions to this volume feature cutting-edge thinking from a variety of eminent scholars who approach relativism from various perspectives and philosophical subfields.   \"A survey of relativist ideas in all areas of philosophy, by an impressive line-up of contributors well-versed in the debates behind their current revival.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eFrançois Recanati\u003c\/b\u003e, Institut Jean-Nicod, Paris \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Himself a substantial contributor to the area, Steve Hales has now put together an excellent companion for those who wish to enter it.
