The statement "man is the measure of all things" is attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Protagoras. This means that individual human experiences and perceptions determine truth and reality.
TRUTH is defined as something being based on FACT.Since FACT is an absolute thenTRUTH is an absolute. Below is an interesting discussion between two great philosophers, Socrates and Protagoras.IS TRUTH RELATIVE?(A dialogue between Socrates and Protagoras)Protagoras: Truth is relative. It is only a matter of opinion.Socrates: You mean that truth is mere subjective opinion?Protagoras: Exactly. What is true for you is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Truth is subjective.Socrates: Do you really mean that? That my opinion is true by virtue of its being my opinion?Protagoras: Indeed I do.Socrates: My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you, Mr. Protagoras, are absolutely in error. Since this is my opinion, then you must grant that it is true according to your philosophy.Protagoras: You are quite correct, Socrates.
Protagoras
Protagoras is often considered a moral relativist rather than a moral realist. He believed that individuals determine what is morally right or wrong based on their own perspectives and experiences, rather than there being objective moral truths.
