Relativism and Culture in Political Argumentation
Original language description
The chapter aims to explore the philosophical debate of political argumentation, especially within the framework of the analytic philosophy tradition. Its primary objective is not to evaluate contemporary political debate but rather to provide a broaderphilosophical context. More specifically, my aim is to prove that the above concepts are generally used more or less inadequately, which is caused partly by the theoretical imprecision of the concept of "culture" and partly by the insufficient level of discussion of the problems of epistemic and ethical relativism. In particular, my argumentation aims to elucidate the interconnectedness of philosophy, social sciences and the employment of the concepts of these sciences outside the theoretical framework(their common sense usage). I attempt to show that a political argumentation that does not rest on a firm conceptual foundation looses its argumentative force and becomes unpersuasive and "impractical" in a broad sense of the word.
