Individual subjectivism with high probability
Oswald Spengler
"There are only truths in relation to a
Determined humanity."
George Berkeley
Treaty on the Principles of the Human Knowledge (1710)
Characteristics
there is not a universal truth
the only truth is the one that is only accepted by the human genre
It contradicts itself.
Limits of knowledge
individual subjectivism: judgment is only valid for the individual subject who
formulates it
general subjectivity: only truth for a specific organized group, humanity
truth has limited validity and there is no truth
universally valid
Ethical Implications
there would not be a moral code because of the relative truth
the lies would be considered as truth equally
Methodology
individual subjectivism
judgement is only valid to the one formulating it
genreal subjectivism
there are supra-individual truths but there is not a universally valid truth
Is it a current perspective?
Found in ancient times, though, it has found defenders in
present times. (Oswald Spengler)
Classical representatives of subjectivism are the sophists.
