That people think and act differently in different cultures, circumstances, and epochs is without question. In this sense, ways of thinking and acting are relative. It is, therefore, easy to infer relativism from the presence of relativity. This chapter shows why it is a mistake to assume that relativism follows from the presence of relativity. Many traditional varieties of realism assume that the presence of relativity needs to be combatted by something atemporal and acontextual, and it is, therefore, assumed that attention to various varying contexts will fuel relativistic tendencies. This view is wedded to the idea that common practices and everyday discourse, as contextual, as historically and culturally situated, are surface phenomenon. The countermovement suggested in this chapter is that it is through a deepened understanding of contextuality (historical, linguistic, sociological, anthropological, cultural, etc.) that we can come to terms with relativism; and not by means of an evasive maneuver that makes truth and ‘realism’ into something that supposedly exist over and above situations and contexts.
