Cultural Relativism and Research on Intercultural Relations The article discusses various versions of relativism – descriptive, linguistic and axiological. Author assumes the attitude toward specific questions regarding above types of relativism in terms of their utility to study intercultural relations. Author criticizes both multiculturalism and axiological relativism as isolationist positions. He presents arguments in favor of overcoming the linguistic diversity and diffusionist vision of cultures.
