Dialogues on Relativism, Absolutism, and Beyond: Four Days in India

What is truth? Beauty? Goodness? Can we really define these concepts without a frame of reference? In the newest addition to the New Dialogues in Philosophy series, Michael Krausz presents a fictional dialogue between four former classmates, with significantly different viewpoints, who try to answer these very questions. Set in India, a place with foreign concepts and customs, these four friends debate the validity of relativism and absolutism. Are they really irreconcilable concepts? Is it possible that there is another solution that goes beyond either idea? Their lively discussion provides students an accessible introduction to one of the most enduring and far-reaching philosophical problems of our age.
