Riflessioni critiche sul relativismo

This short essay examines the pervasive phenomenon of relativism in its main aspects: the theoretical and practical ones. The paper underlines its limits and tries to distinguish it from other stances often confused with relativism because of their relational and pluralistic perspective. The whole operation is based on the conceptual and fundamental difference between "relativism" and "relation": the vision of reality as a complex system built on relations does not implicate a relativistic outcome, as it is possibile to determine relations in a objective and stable way. This allow us to get out of the relativism-absolutism binomial by individuating alternative pathways for a better understanding of reality.
