>>568I went through an Existentialist phase several years ago, and I still haven't fully recovered.
That said, I'm rather fond of cynicism these days. Society is a trap and work is meaningless.
I am very interested in arguments against relativism. Yes I do, to some degree, understand that to affirm that truth is relative is contradictory; because you are saying there is no truth and then saying there is at least one. Logic class wasn't my strong point, and I see the "contradiction", but I'm not sold. So if someone could provide for me reasons for absolute/objective truths outside of mathematics/natural sciences please correct me. I've heard that recently many in the Analytic tradition they've since recognized that even the most firmly established mathematical and logical assertions aren't absolutely true.
