absolute relativism

is the idea that nothing can be compared or measured because there is no absolute reference point from which to anchor comparison.

Absolute relativism presupposes independent and unmeasurable cultures without any hierarchy. It '[ ] locked cultures away in exotism and strangness [ ]' (WHNBM, p. 112). Just like the universalist, the absolute relativist are convinced of the necessity of an absolute reference point make a comparison between cultures. But unlike the universalist, they can't find an absolute reference point, hence they can't compare anything.'
