relativism in scientific theories  

Définition

  • Relativism in the context of scientific theories refers to views that argue that since judgments about truth and falsity are (always) relative to/dependent upon the individual person or culture, the concept of objective truth is either incoherent or useless. Some versions of relativism are heuristically useful. [Source: Encyclopedia of Philosophy and the Social Sciences; Relativism in Scientific Theories]
