e is to be any further rational progress) then they are always true, for all times, places and individuals. Since the two statements about truth are metaphysical in nature, then we can hardly escape the conclusion that there exist metaphysical truths, which are true absolutely. The only quibble is over which truths are absolute and which truths might change over the course of time (i.e. relative). To adhere to a position advocating that all metaphysical truth is relative is clearly absurd. Not the least so because such a claim is only meaningful if it is an absolute in the exact sense which it is denying being possible. --------------------------------------------------------------...
