When someone throws at you the question "Is it the absolute truth that truth is relative?", how do you respond to that? I have read some attempts on other sites but they seem too complicated for me to understand their point. So explain to me like I'm five, what is unreasonable about the question itself?
The question is in error. I would present it differently. "Is it an absolute fact that truth is relative?" Facts do not change, but truths are both subjective and relative. I cannot conceive of an objective or absolute truth.
As the original question is worded, the response should be that there are no absolute truths, because truths are relative.
A fact can change a truth, but a truth cannot change a fact.
Best answer. Simple and on the point, I'm going to rep you just for this.
