Setting the Stage: Epistemic Relativism in the Strong Programme and Beyond

  • Markus Seidel

Abstract

In this chapter, my aim is to provide a sensible definition of epistemic relativism and to justify the use of this definition on the basis of a close reading of the texts of Barnes and Bloor. Furthermore, it will be pointed out how the debate about epistemic relativism relates to other very fundamental debates and positions in epistemology.
