Relativism is defined as any doctrine which denies the existence of absolute values. Following are some self-refuting relativist notions and how you might respond:
· “There is no absolute truth.”
o Is this statement absolutely true?
· “Everything we believe is culturally conditioned.”
o Is this belief of yours culturally conditioned?
· “We should accept everyone’s beliefs and opinions as equally valid.”
o Even my belief that we shouldn’t accept everyone’s belief as equal and valid?
· “Don’t tell other people how to live – just love one another.”
o By this statement aren’t you telling me how to live?
