relativist relativism

is a method that points out the instruments which serve to create relativisms (i.e. The flattening out of hierarchies) and absolutes.

The universalist defined a single hierarchy. The absolute relativist made all hierarchies equal. The relativist relativist, more modest but more empirical, point out what instruments and what claims serve to create asymmetries and equalities, hierarchies and differences' (p. 113). This is followed by a reassertion of his argument from The Pasteurization of France: 'Nothing is, by itself, either reducible or irreducible to anything else. Never by itself, but always through the mediation of another' (p. 113). ' (MUSE review of We have never been modern).
