Big wow - you've discoved that epistemology thought is bound by issues of ontology.
quote:
It is called "Relativism", "Sophism", and "Conventionalism".
This is a very simplistic and wrong understanding - those are different but epistemological related concepts - are you paying for this education? get your money back*.
EDIT: Actually are you getting this from wikipedia? their article on conventionalism is woeful and very misleading.
* to be fair, most under-graduate programs teach difficult concepts like this at such a simplistic level that they only bear a very minor realationship to the concept under discussion.
"Social Constructionism is Dead - Society does NOT determine what is moral." would be a more accurate (well sorta) title for this thread.
