Abstracts

EN

The introductory section of the paper attempts to clarify the theoretical framework of truth-relativism. The paper then presents three obstacles to those who would like to relativise the truth of a statement. These concern the distinction between the absolutely and relatively true statements, the identity of a proposition across the different perspectives and the possibility of distinguishing between the various ways of construing the truth predicate.
