Epistemic relativism
Philosophical Review 118 (2):225-240 (2009)
Abstract
A critical review of Paul Boghossian's Fear of Knowledge. I argue that the central argument against epistemic relativism fails and that even if the arguments of Fear of Knowledge worked perfectly on their own terms, Fear of Knowledge would fail to persuade the relativistically inclined.Author's Profile
