Abstract
The article criticizes the position of E. Morris set forth in his recent book, The Ashtray , in which, referring to the episode of his studies with T. Kuhn, he strongly criticized the so-called relativism. It is shown that Morris, when unreasonably relying on S. Kripke's logical metaphysics, which is irrelevant to relativism, misses essential details related to R. Rorty's relativism.
