Relativism and Expressivism
In Kusch (ed.), The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Relativism, Routledge: 528-540, 2019
Abstract. Relativism and expressivism off er two di fferent semantic frameworks for grappling with a similar cluster of issues. What is the diff erence between these two frameworks? Should they be viewed as rivals? If so, how should we choose between them? This chapter sheds light on these questions. After providing an overview of relativism and expressivism I discuss three potential choice points: their relation to truth conditional semantics, their pictures of belief and communication, and their explanations of disagreement.
