This volume of essays deals with the problem of relativism, in particular cultural relativism. These essays reach towards a new style and mode of enquiry--a mixture of philosophy, history and anthropology--that promises to prove more revealing and fruitful.

These essays deal with the problem of relativism and, in particular, cultural relativism. If our society knows better than other societies, how do we know that it knows better? The claim to cognitive superiority is often restricted to the sciences - raising the second theme of the volume: the difference between human and natural sciences.
