Not that I'm a relativist... but I just don't think the self-refuting argument works
In absolutism the claim is that everything is true or false relative to *one* framework.
In relativism, it is asserted there are mulitple frameworks (which does not strike me necessarily as self-contradiciting).
It's entirely possible some facts would still be universal, meaning, true in every framework.... For example for ever framework, there would be another equally valid framework.
Where is the self-contradiction?
Conceptually, absolutism is a subset of relativism.
