After surveying various ways in which truth relativism has been characterized in the literature, this chapter argues that it is best understood as the view that some of our thought and talk is assessment‐sensitive. Assessment sensitivity is understood by analogy with ordinary contextual sensitivity—or, as it is called here, use sensitivity. Just as the truth of uses of ordinary context‐sensitive sentences depends on features of the context in which they are used, so the truth of uses of assessment‐sensitive sentences depends on features of the context in which they are assessed. We describe how standard semantic frameworks must be changed to make room for assessment sensitivity.
