Clear, concise and accessible arguments for a difficult topic. A great effort for the autor to remain dispassionate while offering a plausible and definite case against relativism and contructivism. Just awaiting for the next book of Boghossian, perhaps a longer one!

The debate about truth has gone on for millenia, but Boghossian has done a superb job of summarizing the current debates about relativism. Considering that he is a former student of Richard Rorty, a book presenting a diametrically opposite point of view shows the kind of intellectual mastery that can only be generated from deep immersion in the point of view being criticized. For a 130 page book, there is tough sledding; but the advantage of a short book, is that you can read it a second time, and maybe even a third, without taking too much time away from your other pursuits of "the truth."
