Maria Baghramian, "A Brief History Of Relativism"

Good paper

I've read it before, but had forgotten about it. Not monumental or anything--but it doesn't aim to be. Just a very solid intro to the history of the subject and term.

Philosophers screw a lot of things up, but they certainly write better papers on relativism than people in other disciplines, by a long shot.

Anyway, Baghramian is generally good on this subject, and I recommend this piece.
