Document Summary

Absolutism (objectivism): the view that truth is independent of human opinion and has a common or universal application. Relativism (subjectivism): the denial of any absolute or objective truth, and the affirmation of the individual (person, community, culture) as the source of truth. Universal standard of judgement here/now the here and now is more closely connected to and conforms more to the individual. *universal = is something one said of many. It is something experienced by everyone; transcultural (unaffected by culture).
