Relativism/Feyerabend: a free society is a relativistic society.
II 118
Relativism/Feyerabend: Relativism concerns traditions, not opinions, concepts, theories. The latter are only useful in the context of a tradition.
Relativism/Feyerabend: Relativism does not assert that all traditions have the same value. Or that traditions in themselves are neither good nor bad. He maintains that they contain such properties only if they are examined from the point of view of (another) tradition.
II 130
Relativism/Feyerabend: it is often assumed that relativism leaves the individual free range. Double error: it is not about the individual, but about tradition, not about possibilities, but about rights. >Cultural relativism, >incommensurability, >western rationalism.
