Abstract

In conclusion, the results presented in the article Public Retractions offers the relativist a way to respond to the results presented in the article Predicates of Personal Taste. If the results in Predicates of Personal taste showed, that ordinary language speaker`s intuitions do not support retraction of statements that involve predicates of personal taste, then the results in Public Retractions show, that ordinary language speakers think that in public settings, it is necessary to retract statements that involve predicates of personal taste and are no longer true.
