   Författare :Ragnar Francén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; moral relativism; metaethical relativism; speaker relativism; appraiser;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation investigates the plausibility of metaethical relativism, or more specifically, what I call “moral truth-value relativism”: the idea that the truth of a moral statement or belief depends on who utters or has it, or who assesses it.
