Fear of knowledge : against relativism and constructivism
Boghossian, Paul Artin2007
Books
Paul Boghossian sweeps away relativist claims that there is no such thing as objective truth or knowledge, but only truth or knowledge from a particular perspective. He shows that philosophy provides rock-solid support for common sense against the relativists, and will prove provocative reading throughout the discipline and beyond.
