"All truths are relative"
This claim rejects the claim that truth is absolute. For me it doesn't mean that there is no truth. I agree to the contention that truth is equal. Although there is a problem here, since if truth is equal, the identity of truth will be lost. I don't remove the possibility of compromises. But compromises and agreements doesn't imply universalism and absolutism of truth. Since, when you say that the truth is universal it is applicable to all in all situation, and when you say that truth is absolute it means that truth is applicable to
all in all situation and is changeless.
