Dialogues on Relativism Absolutism and Beyond

What is truth goodness or beauty? Can we really define these concepts without the idea of a frame of reference? In the newest addition to the <I>New Dialogues in Philosophy</I> series Michael Krausz presents fictional dialogues between four former classmates who hold significantly different views about these questions. As they travel in India a place with unfamiliar concepts and customs these four friends debate the rightness of relativism and absolutism. Are these concepts irreconcilable? Might there be a better view that goes beyond both of them? These lively discussions provide students with an accessible introduction to one of the most enduring and far-reaching philosophical problems of our age.
