This is a very good and thought provoking question, although as you have studied epistomology academically, I am sure that you know the best way to answer to it. "Absolute truth" is obviously ruled out immediately. I think with relativism, you can have both "relative truth" and "not a truth at all" depending on your usage and definition of the word "truth".
What is truth? asked the doubting Pilate and turned before he could receive an answer.
Of course they were alone at the time so what would it matter to us? But then how do we know the question was asked?
