@Extrain,
I think the word Absolute can only apply to BEING itself...

and to Logos ? And to Phenomena ? and to behaviour ? Absolute value its constrained to relative meaning...Moral has a meaning, therefore Moral has limits...if Moral is an object Moral is relative !


moral ( as in what is right and wrong ) is not an object , it is an idea

But if right and wrong are relative only to humans, then it is ok torture and skin animals alive. It logically follows.

"All moral truths are relative": For any moral proposition P, and any two frameworks S and W, ~(W)P and (S)P

Proof by Cases with LEM:

1 (3) (S)P (and Elim 1)
0 (4) [(W)P and ~(S)P] or ~[(W)P and ~(S)P] (LEM)

5 (6) ~(S)P (and Elim 5)

5,13 (14) ^ (~Elim 6,13)
5,9 (15) ^ (or Elim 10,11,12,13,14)
1 (16) ^ (or Elim 4,5,8,9,15)
0 (17) ~[~(W)P and (S)P] (~Intro 1,16)

So (1) is self-refuting.
Therefore, "All moral truths are relative" is false.


I don't understand your notation. Can you put your argument in plain English so I can actually determine if it even makes sense or is just another attempt at obfuscation by you?

We just assume an instance of "all moral truths are relative," namely, a proposition that is true in one framework and false in another (MMR). Then by the Law of Excluded middle (P or ~P) we refute the initial premise. Reductio ad absurdum.

The law of excluded middle doesn't apply between two different frameworks. A proposition or its negation is true within each framework but not between them.

But you are committed to the thesis that

[~(W)P and (S)P] is true. That's a framework-independent claim, as you yourself have countenanced. So the argument is both valid and sound.

Again, please use plain English. If you're right, I'd like to understand why so I can change my mind but you aren't making it easy for me.

I've gone over it in colloquial prose before. What good will any more efforts of mine do? I don't know what more I can do.
