Jack Meiland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack W. Meiland (1934-1998) was an American philosopher. He is best known for comments on cognitive relativism, and a salvage operation from the "paradox of relativism": the claim that relativists fall into being absolute about relativism.

He taught at the University of Michigan from 1962 to 1997^[1].
