Description: Who's to Say? by Norman Melchert Arguments are examined, reexamined, challenged, and honed in this lively dialogue on relativism and objectivity.

Designed to present beginning students with an introduction to the main arguments concerning relativism, this provocative dialogue also serves as a model for thinking clearly about philosophical issues.
