- TomMckenny 7y agoWe should also distinguish between statements of fact which do have truth value vs statements of opinion which don't. "Is Hillary a bad person?" asks an opinion and has no objectively wrong answer. "Did Hillary run a child abuse ring from a pizza parlor?" is objectively either true or false regardless of how many people believe it. Relativism may have started with the intent of pointing out this distinction (eg the 19th century firm belief that "Primitive societies are bad") before being over generalized.
