gsr Posted October 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Is there absolute truth? Is all truth relative? What are the consequences of each position? May both exist simultaneously? Is either exclusive ot the other? What are the bases of either state of truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celumnaz Posted October 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2004 There is an absolute truth, but because of my physical condition my truth is relative? They are not mutually exclusive. Absolute truth is based on the absolute and is absolute in it's absoluteness, personal relative truth is based on personal perception and how it's tempered with input and the perceived self... the abolute does affect the relative and can be percieved but only in part and is sometimes not recognized, sometimes is... like when a meteor falls on your head it's a peice of the absolute connecting with the relative... or not. good question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittish_gurl Posted October 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think there is a logical explanation to almost everything. That is what makes everything so interesting. There is truth to everything you just have to find it even thought it might not be right there in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpalz Posted October 25, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2004 My two cents on it... If you say there's no absolute truth, you're stating that there's an absolute thruth: that there is no absolute truth, and that is a contradiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikuchiyo Posted October 26, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 26, 2004 well technically a "truth" is some thing absolute and unchangeable...if it's not absolute or changeable it's not a truth, but a "theory" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discordia Posted October 27, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Is Truth absolute or relative, my question to this is, can you answer this question with absolute truth, or would it be relative because the answers given are plausible theories but cannot be proven? Or maybe this doesn't make sense to me and I'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-La Posted October 27, 2004 #9 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Truth always becomes more truthful perceptively when put in a context of relativity. When truth is in its absolute context it is not as perceptible as truth becomes the homogenous quality of existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
