“I do not have it in for relativism. In many respects I find it a fascinating, even attractive, alternative. It engenders epistemological humility, defeats an arrogant pomposity in belief, even promotes a sort of democratic ideal in matters of knowledge. Perhaps its most comforting feature is that it requires no hard work at all in the matter of justifying beliefs.” DisciplineRelativismPhilosophical Inquiry Book:Epistemology: The Justification of Belief Source: Epistemology: The Justification of Belief
