Metaepistemology and Relativism
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)
978-1-137-33663-7 (ISBN)
Is knowledge relative? Many academics across the humanities say that it is. However those who work in mainstream epistemology generally consider that it is not. Metaepistemology and Relativism questions whether the kind of anti-relativistic background that underlies typical projects in mainstream epistemology can on closer inspection be vindicated.
J. Adam Carter is a Research Fellow in philosophy, working mainly in epistemology, at the EIDYN Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh. His work has appeared in (among other places) Noûs, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Analysis, Philosophical Studies and the Australasian Journal of Philosophy.

“Metaepistemology and Relativism is an important contribution to the literature. It is one of the first attempts to evaluate the epistemological implications of MacFarlane’s brand of epistemic relativism. … this book seeks to understand what relativism is before condemning it. I am happy to recommend it as a model for how to work on the problem of relativism today.” (Robin McKenna, International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, Iss. (7), 2017)
