What is Dialogues on Relativism, Absolutism, and Beyond: Four Days in India (New Dialogues in Philosophy) about?

What is truth, goodness, or beauty? Can we really define these concepts without the idea of a frame of reference? In the newest addition to the New Dialogues in Philosophy series, Michael Krausz presents fictional dialogues between four former classmates who hold significantly different views about these questions. As they travel in India, a place with unfamiliar concepts and customs, these four friends debate the rightness of relativism and absolutism. Are these concepts irreconcilable? Might there be a better view that goes beyond both of them? These lively discussions provide students with an accessible introduction to one of the most enduring and far-reaching philosophical problems of our age. ** Review Michael Krausz's searching and bold inquiry into the question of the possibility of relativism's truth in Dialogues on Relativisim, Absolutism, and Beyond is on par with Hume's inquiry into the possibility of a natural religion in Dialogues on Natural Religion (1779). The rigor students will see in these conversations will provide a template for what they should seek as they come to formulate and test their own views.
