ABSTRACT
The term “cultural relativism” has become a convenient label for our times covering some positive insights and some outright errors. Like any name it means different things to different people. My concern in this paper is to point out what I take to be some of its insights and errors. Most of its errors seem to me to result from some crucial ambiguities. Until these are distinguished it is impossible to evaluate its claims. What are some of these claims and their ambiguities?
