The comment or assertion 'all truth is relative' is self-defeating in several ways which are similar although stated a little differently.
If truth is relative then the statement that truth is relative cannot itself be absolute and therefore true objectively.
Also, as correctly suggested in the question 'truth is relative' is itself a self-contradictory absolute statement which cannot be true if truth is indeed relative.

What is the general truth?
A general truth is a statement of fact regarding something that is measurable, demonstrable, and real. The term 'truth' in this context is defined as the 'general agreement' or consensus of those making the determination of validity, however, it does not require unanimous agreement to be considered a statement of truth. In comparison, we have 'absolute truth'. Absolute truth would be the knowledge of all things, their origins, and the purposes of all things. Currently, it is impossible to know 'absolute truth', but only general truths. Those making claims of absolute truth, such as those claiming to know the origins of matter and life, gods, the supernatural, the universal purpose of life and matter, are not being intellectually honest until they can provide proof of their claims.
How did Einsteins theory of relativity change people's view of the universe?
So far my view is concerned, I have realized that space and time are only relative to the observer. "Nothing is absolute" is the statement made by Albert Einstein. The very observer is the absolute. So we have to realize our own selves. This is my humble view

How does relative dating and absolute dating help scientists assemble a fossil record for an area?
Relative dating is the science determining the relative order of past events, without necessarily determining their absolute age Absolute dating is the process of determining an approximate computed age in archaeology and geology.
Why is it important to look at a goods relative price as opposed to its absolute price?
so you can save money
What formula that excel use to adjust the cell reference as it to the destination area?
Yes it does. This is because reference "B20" is relative and not absolute. You can change a cell reference so that the column and/or the row reference is absolute and then it will not change when copied to another cell. Click on the help icon and search for "relative absolute" and read the help article for further information.
The height of a plant is 45 cm with an estimated absolute error of 0.9 cm what percent is the relative error?
To get the relative error is the maximum error over the measurement. So the maximum error is the absolute error divided by 2. So the maximum error is 0.45. The relative error is 0.45 over 45 cm.
Is logic truth?
logic is common sense. it's a method of thinking that's embedded into the mind of human beings. it's something like our conscience, therefore it's relative. it can be improved and can be led to compromise. it can be disregarded and ignored(such as when people are in love.) and it can be moved by emotions. the truth should be absolute, and should be constant, it should be timeless and immovable. which logic isn't so it is not the truth.
What is absolute peak anaerobic power?
Absolute peak anaerobic power is how much power (in Watts) a person can exert at one time. There are many ways that absolute peak power can be measured but a common way is a 30 sec wingate test which is done on an exercycle. Absolute peak power differs from relative peak power as relative peak power takes into account the persons weight, where as absolute doesnt. Therefore the bigger and stronger you are, the higher your absolute Pp would generally be. But when converted to relative Pp (absolute Pp/weight), you have a Pp relative to each person - not worrying about the persons own weight so you can compare using this.
What is the difference between absolute deviation and relative deviation?
absolute deviation is a difference between say two numbers. The result has the same units as the two numbers have. Relative deviation is a ratio and so it is a pure number without any units.
Are motion and rest absolute or relative?
Motion and rest are relative concepts, as they depend on the frame of reference from which they are observed. An object in motion appears differently depending on the frame of reference from which it is observed, so motion and rest are not absolute but rather determined by the observer's perspective.
What are absolute value and order in math?
Order has to do with the relation of one number to another. Statements like a>b is an ordered statement. Absolute value is the distance that a number is from 0. So the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of -3 is 3.
