Abstract
This paper tries to shed light on the view of contemporary culture that underlies Dominus Iesus. According to that view relativism has become one the distinctive features of our time as well as the main challenge to the Christian truth-claim. The analysis focuses first on its philosophical and theological background, showing that today's pluralistic theology is an outcome of Kant's rationalistic criticism of religion. The analysis moves then to the political level, holding that some widespread misunderstandings of liberal democracy are responsible for the rise of relativism in our time.
