Radical relativism, which permeates modern culture and challenges Enlightenment principles, is critically examined in this work. The author argues that relativism undermines universal rationality and leads to absurd conclusions, such as denying Galileo's heliocentric claims. By addressing prominent philosophical figures like Quine, Kuhn, and Rorty, the text reveals the self-refuting nature of their arguments. Designed for both specialists and non-specialists, this critique provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary philosophical debates surrounding relativism and its implications.
