Chap 2 & 3

I found Lynch's attack on relativism especially interesting:

If all truth is relative, then any positive truth claim about relativism itself is contradictory. Therefore, relativism is self-refuting in its dogmatic claim that all truth is relative.

On the surface, this seems like a very reasonable argument, but I believe there is some merit with regards to relativism, especially when the "truth" is not mathematically calculable. There is a tremendous difference between the truth value of a physics equation and whether or not Thomas Jefferson liked to collect stamps. I am starting to lose direction, so I will stop here, but if I can further my point at some future time I will do so.
