Preferred term

philosophical relativism  

Definition

  • Relativism is not just an academically contested concept. It is an idea that arouses passions, especially among those who see it as the quintessence of everything that has gone wrong with modernity and its intellectual offspring, postmodernism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Relativism, Philosophical]
