| Popis: | Semantic relativism supplies an underutilized method to analyze the information a statement presents by signaling the context of judgement. This study applies semantic relativism to the Supreme Court of the United States case District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) to understand the differing legal opinions released by the Court. While information literacy focuses on bias in sources, semantic relativism allows us to evaluate the information presented. Since it attends to the context of judgement, semantic relativism can be utilized with other information science tools that evaluate the legitimacy of information interpretation. |
