I remember that someone kept dismissing my notion of conceptual relativism and finally he mentioned some book that had been written 40 or 50 years ago which had mentioned that concepts were relative. I wondered - could it be true? Could someone have examined conceptual relativism decades ago? I did not find the book that he mentioned but I did find references to it and I found work that was done by the authors around the time the book was published. The authors mentioned a lot about the fact that concepts are relative and nothing about the notion that concepts are relativistic. It would be tedious of me to go over the difference again, but there is a major difference. The idea that I am talking about something that had been settled and the closed 20 or 50 years ago is dismissive. But it is also amusing because it means you are all chasing the latest fads (which are admittedly making great advances) while leaving the field of my special interests free, open, and unsullied for me. So thank you for not getting it. (I am not being cranky, I really believe that we are representative of the areas of interest that other people are pursuing, some much more effectively than we are, and this mini sampling indicates that there is something here that might be worthwhile for me to examine partly because there is not going to be much competition.)
