[Serious] Absolutes and Atheism
RE: Absolutes and Atheism
(June 17, 2023 at 2:48 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: When Nietzsche wrote "God is dead," his point was clearly not simply that Christianity was unsalvageable but that its demise took with it any pretense of transcendent certitudes or absolutes. Was he right? Or are there absolutes that must be true in all possible worlds and true even if there were no physical universe at all?

There might be such an absolute, but how does one assess the claim?  I think that it's indeterminate at best, neither true nor false because there's no way of knowing for sure.
