Abstract

In this paper I shall offer a response to Paul Boghossian's recent criticism of "replacement relativism". Replacement relativism is the main semantic strategy for making sense of philosophical forms of relativism. Replacement relativism was first formulated by Gilbert Harman (1996a, b). It models philosophical relativism on relativization in the natural sciences.
