Susan Haack’s classification of relativisms is detailed in her 1996 paper, “Reflections on Relativism: From Momentous Tautology to Seductive Contradiction,” published in the Supplement to Noûs.
In this work, Haack categorizes various forms of relativism based on two criteria:
- What is relativized: This refers to the subject matter, such as truth, meaning, reality, epistemic criteria, or moral values.
- The context to which it is relativized: This pertains to the framework, such as language, conceptual schemes, theories, cultures, or world versions.
This classification is also discussed in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which presents a table categorizing different relativistic positions according to what is being relativized and the context of relativization.

For a comprehensive understanding of Haack’s classification, it is recommended to consult her original paper, which provides an in-depth analysis of the various forms of relativism and their interrelations.
