From Conceptual Relativism to Relativity of Truth and Truthfulness

Author(s):
Abstract:
Conceptual relativism is a sort of relativity that will focus on the need for mediation of conceptual network, language, paradigms or other mental man-made apparatus in the process of understanding reality and interpretation of universe. According to conceptual relativists since conceptual apparatus and network playing mediatory role are multiple, various and immeasurable and cannot be judged true or false, so the different views of world and theories presented in variety of domain in terms conceptual designs, paradigms, and various linguistic terms enjoy the same degree of truth, truthfulness and justifiability.By examining exact definition of conceptual relativism and its main formulations, this article attempts to show the distinction between two domains of conceptual relativism and epistemic relativism and that one will face strong linguistic obstacles if he is going to bridge the former to the latter. Given the truth and validity of conceptual relativism, it never entails the relativity of truth and truthfulness.
