relativism

Relativismus

Relativism, occasionally also relativism, is a philosophical line of thought which regards the truth of statements, demands, and principles as always conditioned by something else, and denies absolute truths. So that every statement is based on conditions, the truth of which, on the other hand, is conditioned by conditions, and so on. These framework conditions also enable the statement to be changed and negotiated. Relativists often justify this with the epistemological argument that a secure knowledge of the world is impossible. Others refer to the composite character of truths which always refer to other truths. Ethical relativists reject the idea of ​​absolute ethical values ​​and different partial flows, which lead to different consequences. Some ethical relativists assume that ultimately all ethical values ​​and statements about the world are equally true. Others argue that some statements are more true or correct than others. Der Relativismus, gelegentlich auch Relationismus, ist eine philosophische Denkrichtung, welche die Wahrheit von Aussagen, Forderungen und Prinzipien als stets von etwas anderem bedingt ansieht und absolute Wahrheiten verneint. Dass also jede Aussage auf Bedingungen aufbaut, deren Wahrheit jedoch wiederum auf Bedingungen fußt und so fort. Diese Rahmenbedingungen ermöglichen es die Aussage auch zu verändern und zu verhandeln. Relativisten begründen dies oft mit dem epistemologischen Argument, dass eine sichere Erkenntnis der Welt unmöglich ist. Andere verweisen auf den zusammengesetzten Charakter von Wahrheiten, die stets auf andere Wahrheiten Bezug nehmen. Ethische Relativisten verwerfen die Idee absoluter ethischer Werte und unterschiedliche Teilströmungen leiten daraus differente Konsequenzen ab. Einige ethische Relativisten gehen davon aus, dass in letzter Konsequenz alle ethischen Werte und Aussagen über die Welt gleichermaßen wahr sind. Andere vertreten die Position, dass einige Aussagen wahrer oder richtiger als andere sind.
