"There is no absolute truth" is itself an absolute truth.
How do you go about this? Is there absolute truth? Is absolute synonym with objective?
"people see with their eyes", could this be considered an absolute truth?
Good point, but we do have absolute truths
That's what (E) says. Am I missing something?
I meant, but then we do have absolute truths so the original project is defeated
(it seemed perfectly clear at the time, but reading it now, I don't know why I thought you'd pick up my line of thought from that)
Aha. Thanks for clarifying.
On another tack. I reckon that a new version of (B), namely (B2) could be used which allows the existence of a limited, but infinite, set of true statements including and/or dependent on a primary statement.
(B2): "There are no absolute truths except (B2), plus any other statement which is a 'special function' of (B2)"
Where a statement (Y) is a Special Function of statement (X) if it (Y) satifies certain criteria such as:- it includes 1 or more statements which are equivalent to (X+) or which affirm (X+) and it does not affirm any truth which is not in (X+). Here (X+) is the set of all statements which are special functions of (X)".
Some more tweaking may be needed to make this bullet-proof. But hopefully not many.
