Book synopsis

In this short volume (first published in 1984), Peter Unger questions the objective answers that have been given to traditional problems of philosophy. He casts doubt on the generally unquestioned view that fundamental questions pertaining to meaning and existence have direct solutions, arguing that by their very nature they remain ultimately unanswerable. He suggests that the answers to these questions must be viewed in terms of a general philosophical and semantic relativity, proposing that truth cannot be arrived at in absolute sense but rather with relative degrees of precision. Written with unusual clarity, "Philosophical Relativity", is provocative, highly readable and ambitious in scope.
