Realistic Truth Relativism, Frameworks of Belief and Conceptual
Schemes

Abstract
[0] In a previous paper, attempting to explicate a viable truth
relativism within a realist/correspondence theory of truth and using
something like a framework of belief or a conceptual scheme as the
relativiser, I remarked that "I (was) persuaded that having a body of
substantive assertions (a theory, say) as the relativiser has
intractable difficulties..." (Davson-Galle 1994: [5]). In
what follows I attempt to substantiate that judgement.
