In a relativistic framework, which says, okay, there's no such thing as absolute truth, only particular truths.

Well, then how do we discover a particular truth?

Exactly.

You determine for yourself what is true for you.

And when we talk like that, the meaning of the word true becomes a nonsense term.

Because what you have to do is say, again, truth is that which is meaningful to me.

And truth then becomes thrown back upon the definition of meaningfulness.

But there's no basis for determining meaningfulness except that which I find valuable.

And that throws us back to the problem of value, which again reduces itself to arbitrary, capricious subjectivism.

If there's no such thing as absolute truth, then there's no such thing as absolute goodness.

And so here's where we enter quickly into the moral sphere.

And if there is no such thing as absolute goodness, no such thing as absolute truth, no such thing as absolute meaning, no such thing as absolute value, no such thing as absolute being, we have to go the way of the radical existentialist

and beyond the radical existentialists such as Nietzsche and Sartre.

Nietzsche's conclusion being that life is nothingness, meaningless.

He was a nihilist.

There is no meaning.

We have to create our own values, but that's an impossibility because we don't have the stuff of creation.

The very building blocks of value have been destroyed from the very beginning.

And again, I say we have to go beyond Nietzsche

Because Nietzsche himself was totally inconsistent at this point.
