Vol. 3 No. 1 (2010): Verità relative

To pose the problem of relativism is to pose, more or less explicitly, the question of truth. It is precisely the attempt to define in alethic terms the 'relative' character of certain classes of assertions - referable, for example, to ethical evaluations, cultural codes or judgments of taste - that gives the essays gathered here a unified character. The evident heterogeneity of the theoretical perspectives represented in them, ranging from semantic analysis to historical hermeneutics, does not in fact prevent one from perceiving in the resulting comparison the persistence of a "classical" reflection, which in forms that have been updated from time to time, has accompanied the entire historical course of western philosophy.
