Lonelyloner Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 “Relativism reduces every element of absoluteness to relativity while making a completely illogical exception in favor of this reduction itself. Fundamentally it consists in propounding the claim that there is no truth as if this were truth or in declaring it to be absolutely true that there is nothing but the relatively true; one might just as well say that there is no language or write that there is no writing. In short, every idea is reduced to a relativity of some sort, whether psychological, historical, or social; but the assertion nullifies itself by the fact that it too presents itself as a psychological, historical, or social relativity. The assertion nullifies itself if it is true and by nullifying itself logically proves thereby that it is false; its initial absurdity lies in the implicit claim to be unique in escaping, as if by enchantment, from a relativity that is declared to be the only possibility.” ― Frithjof Schuon, Logic and Transcendence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(refer first page post..) BTW..thanks for bring up this...otherwise i would never know about this... Relativism & Meta Ethics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
