This article brings together two sets of data that are rarely discussed in concert; namely, disagreement and testimony data. I will argue that relativism yields a much more elegant account of these data than its major rival, contextualism. The basic idea will be that contextualists can account for disagreement data only by adopting principles that preclude a simple account of testimony data. I will conclude that, other things being equal, we should prefer relativism to contextualism. In making this comparative point, I will also defend self-standing relativist accounts of disagreement and testimony data.

相对主义、分歧和证词

这篇文章汇集了两组很少一起讨论的数据;即分歧和证词数据。我会争辩说,相对主义对这些数据的解释比它的主要竞争对手情境主义要优雅得多。基本思想是,情境主义者只能通过采用排除对证词数据进行简单解释的原则来解释分歧数据。我的结论是,在其他条件相同的情况下,我们应该更喜欢相对主义而不是情境主义。在提出这个比较点时,我还将为分歧和证词数据的独立相对主义帐户辩护。
