Absolutism
1. Because every time we think an idea is without flaws, someone always finds a new way of looking at things.
2. Well, especially in religions. Christianity for instance, they are constantly told that gods way is the only way. This is an absolutist belief. It's an absolute truth to them that the rest of us will burn in hell. You also see it in science a lot... There was a point when the geocentric model was thought to be an absolute truth, then we proved it wrong. Evolution, gravity...
We're basing science and religion off of theories built on theories... Little to no evidence and small chunks of relativity. Any of this can shift at any moment. The recent discoveries in quantum theory, for instance, are beginning to change our model of sub-atomic particles and atomic structures in-general.
Models that we held to be true for a long time.
In short... I believe that absolutism is a ridiculous theory (yet I refuse to say that it's ABSOLUTELY not possible to avoid any contradictions, lol) |
As much as absolutism is obsolete-ism (wow it rhymes!)
I also believe relativism is obsolete, for to say every thing is relative,
one is making an absolute claim.
