'This book takes up the cause of relativism with an enjoyable mix of zeal and careful argumentation. KolbelA's book is invaluable for philosophers interested in the prospects for relativism or in problems of objectivity in general.' - Matthew McGrath in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 'Swashbuckling KolbelA's book is clear, original, and stimulating. It is a refreshingly straightforward attempt to advance a relativism that will, at the very least, require the reader to think more carefully about how to approach in a different way the data Kolbel seeks to illuminate.' - Richard Fumerton in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews '[An] intriguing new collection ... a valuable collection of papers, many of which will no doubt become required reading for anyone seriously interested in Wittgensteinian scholarship.' - Philosophical Investigations
