Herman Cappelen and John Hawthorne's Relativism and Monadic Truth presses a number of worries about relativistic content.1 It forces one to think carefully about what a relativist should mean by saying that speakers disagree or contradict one another in asserting such content. My focus is on this question, though at points (in particular in Sect. 4) I touch on other issues Cappelen and Hawthorne (CH) raise.2
