Johns Hopkins, 1991. First edition, first printing. Hardbound. Very Fine in a very fine dust jacket. A clean unread copy. Examines French Renaissance thinkers, particularly in the 16th century, and how they grappled with the implications of relativism—the collapse of a single, stable, and universal norm—before it became a formal philosophical doctine.

Review
"A cogent, refreshing response to the deluge of decontextualization and deconstructionism that has flooded historical thought during the past decade... Schiffman analyzes the work of La Popeliniere, Pasquier, Montaigne, Charron, and Descartes." -- Historian
"This useful, thoughtful, and informative book in the intellectual history of the French Renaissance uses the concept of relativism to situate and compare the work of a number of major thinkers... Both because of the clarity with which it sets forth the thought of the authors it treats and because of its highly suggestive argument, Schiffman's book deserves a wide audience." -- Renaissance Quarterly
