Softgirl - quite.
Relative.
I don't know that, in fact I'm not sure why you're asking me that, I cant assume what you believe in, the point of this question was to find that out.
You don't need to know what I believe in to answer my questions, as my questions were about your proposition (in so far as the one word "relative" alone is a proposition), not my beliefs.
The purpose of my question was to show the logical impossibility of moral relativism, as it is impossible to have meaningful answers to the questions consistent with the relativist answer (for exactly the reasons that Softgirl explained).
How would that work you ask? I cant answer anything because the basis of all your questions rely on me assuming what you believe, something I cannot do. Once you have some input I'll give you a more informed answer.
Why do my questions require you to know anything about what I believe?
Elanor - is the proposition that truth is a social construct true? Is the truth of that proposition also a social construct? If it is a social construct, it would be possible for there to be a society in which truth is not a social construct, but universal; but if something is universal, it must by definition be universal to everyone, not just the members of that society. In other words, your statement, "truth is a social construct" can only be true if truth is not, in fact, a social construct, meaning that it cannot be true at all.
