Do not fill this in! ===Epistemic relativism=== {{Main|Relativism}} Epistemic relativism is the view that what is true, rational, or justified for one person need not be true, rational, or justified for another person. Epistemic relativists therefore assert that β while there are ''relative'' facts about truth, rationality, justification, and so on β there is no ''perspective-independent'' fact of the matter.<ref name="Boghossian2006"/> Note that this is distinct from epistemic [[contextualism]], which holds that the ''meaning'' of epistemic terms vary across contexts (e.g., "I know" might mean something different in everyday contexts and skeptical contexts). In contrast, epistemic relativism holds that the relevant ''facts'' vary, not just linguistic meaning. Relativism about truth may also be a form of [[ontological]] relativism, insofar as relativists about truth hold that facts about what ''exists'' vary based on perspective.<ref name="Boghossian2006"/> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
