Compare
moral relativism,
aesthetic relativism,

cultural relativism, and

experience or
culture is relative to, i.e., dependent on, some other element or aspect. Some relativists claim that humans can understand and evaluate beliefs and behaviors only in terms of their
historical or
cultural context. The term often refers to
truth relativism, which is the doctrine that there are no
absolute truths, i.e., that truth is always relative to some particular frame of reference, such as a language or a culture.
