Antinomy 5: Relativity Vs. Absolutism

Once, one of my psychologists said: “Everything is relative”, I automatically, almost mechanically, replied: If everything is relative, the statement itself is relative too, it denies itself. If you dare utter the word “everything”, you are falling into absolutisms. Thus, the statement is false, so we arrive at the conclusion that “Some things are relative, others are not”. Both, relative and absolute things co-exist together, metaphysically talking, they need each other to exist. They are the opposite sides of the same coin.


She just took no heed of my words, and suddenly, she brought up another subject. How the fuck could she ignore me in that fucking way and escape from my logical judgements?


We can then ask ourselves: Is everything relatively absolute or is everything absolutely relative? Can absolute truth exist? Or there is only relative truth?
