Relativism Contradicts itself To propose the statement truth is relative it condraticts itself as identifying that statement as an absolute truth Truth is relative is not a relative statement It is absolute Thus the whole Sophist philosophy is proven incorrect Relative truths however can exist but the idea that reality can be percieved in a truth to however a person feels it is is simple ridiculous Personally I can not make any sense of the previous paragraph which just goes to show that individual reality and therefore truth is probably relative after all In my reality the truth is that there are rules of grammar and spelling that should be followed if you want people to understand what you are talking about
