Truth and Relativism

from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk

Is there such a thing as absolute truth, independent of who is doing the thinking, and where? Or is truth relative to backgrounds, cultures, creeds, times, and places? Can it be true that what is right for me isn’t right for you? John and Ken search for truth with Helen Longino, Professor of Philosophy and Women’s Studies at the University of Minnesota.
