ABSTRACT
I have a three-part agenda in this paper. All three parts are related, and their cumulative effect will, I hope, be to improve our philosophical understanding of what is most fundamentally, and interestingly, at issue in philosophical debates about relativism, and especially in debates about moral relativism. Before I present these three related pieces of the overall argument, I want to start by describing all three parts in somewhat greater detail than one would normally find in a mere introduction, so as to give some advance sense of the sort of improved understanding I hope to achieve.
