Construction and Worldmaking: the Significance of Nelson Goodman's Pluralism

Xavier de Donato-Rodríguez

Abstract


In the present paper, I try to defend a coherent interpretation of Goodman’s relativism by responding to the main objections of the critics. I also discuss the significance of his pluralism by relating it to the notion of construction. This will show the relevance of Goodman’s philosophy for the present days.

Keywords


Nelson Goodman, relativism, pluralism, worldmaking, constructivism, irrealism
