Two Versions of Conceptual Relativism

Author(s): Tomáš Marvan
Subject(s): Epistemology, Logic
Published by: Filozofický ústav SAV

Summary/Abstract: The paper distinguishes between various versions of conceptual relativism and tries to reduce their number to two final alternatives: those of weak and strong conceptual relativism. The author argues that while a weak, pluralist version of conceptual relativity might be acceptable, the stronger version, as defined in the paper, cannot be coherently formulated. The argument of the paper draws on recent criticism of conceptual relativism by Anthony Brueckner, and tries to extend it further.
