If your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth, how can we - TopicsExpress



          

If your truth is your truth and my truth is my truth, how can we be certain of anything? Relativism produces no truth. Dr. Adler of the University of Chicago wisely pointed to history concerning such subjective truth. He observed that the Nazis argument for killing Jews was a position that could not be refuted in a world of relative morality and ethics where we live by the motto this is just your truth, and this is mine. Who could condemn Hitler for murdering 6 million Jews if their extinction was his truth. To argue that he was wrong, if you are a relativist, is fallacious because your own definition of truth entitles Hitler as much right to his view as you to yours.
