Refraction (Bent Thinking) #76

The Relativist Fallacy: when a person rejects a claim by asserting that the claim might be true for others but is not for him/her. Refutation: truth is truth. Claiming something is true for one but not another is what one would do when claiming 2+2 is 4 for others but not for me. Example: Agatha: “Bernie, I cannot find fault with your argument that the thing growing inside the womb is human. That, however, is your truth and not mine.” Side Note: for more on the different views of truth, go to the “Truth and Systems of Thought” link at the bottom of http://jimshaul.org/critical-thinking/
