I make three points relevant to the ongoing discussion on relative truth: (1) it is not easy to conceive of relative truth as truth in a subjective world, (2) for moderate relativism, relative truth is not belief, i.e. "p is true for X" does not amount to "X believes that p", (3) it is not a good idea to identify simple truth with universally relative truth.

Abstract

I make three points relevant to the ongoing discussion on relative truth: (1) it is not easy to conceive of relative truth as truth in a subjective world, (2) for moderate relativism, relative truth is not belief, i.e. "p is true for X" does not amount to "X believes that p", (3) it is not a good idea to identify simple truth with universally relative truth.
