Tell that to Tibetans, Uyghur people, people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, people in Sub-Saharan African states who are effectively being dispossessed of their land.
And why 45 years? To avoid speaking about the great famines?
#relativism doesn’t help anybody.
Did you know sophism sparked debates on truth vs rhetoric? Ancient Greek sophists like Protagoras questioned objectivity, paving the way for relativism (“Man is the measure of all things”)—challenging Plato’s pursuit of eternal truths. (Q166955) #AncientGreece #Relativism #Philosophy

David Wong argues there is more that one true morality in *Too Weird to Believe, Too Plausible to Deny* 🔗 Link in bio #philosophy #ethics #morality #pluralism #relativism
To sum up, the moral I want to draw from my discussion of the claim that Berlin's position is "relativistic" is that this charge should not be answered, but rather evaded. We should learn to brush aside questions like "How do you know that freedom is the chief goal of social organization?" in the same way as we brush aside questions like "How do you know that Jones is worthy of your friendship?" or "How do you know that Yeats is an important poet, Hegel an important philosopher, and Galileo an important scientist?" We should see allegiance to social institutions as no more matters for justification by reference to familiar, commonly accepted premises—but also as no more arbitrary—than choices of friends or heroes. Such choices are not made by reference to criteria. They cannot be preceded by presuppositionless critical reflection, conducted in no particular language and outside of any particular historical context.
We should see allegiance to social institutions as no more matters for justification by reference to familiar, commonly accepted premises—but also as no more arbitrary—than choices of friends or heroes.

Maybe the only truth is that there is no absolute truth. And that our reality is always a delicate balance between self-deception and insight.
