Relativism isn't usually a real position, it's a tactic. It's used by one side in an argument to deny the other side a place to stand (c.f. Archimedes).
When it IS a real position, it's usually a stupid one. For example, Cultural relativism -- the idea that the culture of a tribe of warrior cannibals is in no way inferior to Western culture. |
