ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I survey and discuss various different types of relativism about logic based on the polysemy of “logical consequence,” the choice of logical constants, on meaning variance, on the epistemic norms to which one holds oneself and the domain of inquiry in question. Then, drawing on the historical example of the advent of non-Euclidian geometries, I distinguish two forms of relativism about mathematics: axiom-based relativism and logic-based relativism. Finally, I offer some suggestions for promising future work in the field.
