The consistent way to say, "There is no absolute truth"
You said it already. Why do you need to say anything more?
(How about this one?) ;o)
"THIS STATEMENT IS THE ONLY AND ONLY ONE ABSOLUTELY-TRUE STATEMENT."
This statement is false if your first statement is true.
It seems you have been tortured by locking you up in a round room and
telling you that can only piss at a corner.
Clarification for You:
"There is no absolute truth"
How about "There is no absolute truth" ?
Is it absolute?
Regards,
George
Of course not.
If we say ..For all propositions p (p is not absolutely true) then, (q is
not absolutely true) ..for any q.
(including "There is no absolute truth")
Even if we were in possession of an absolute truth, how could we know that
it is absolutely true?
From Godel and others, we know that there is no (absolute) system of logic
that contains all truths.
i.e. there is no method of deciding absolutely.
Wrong conclusion. there is no method for ALL truths.
this does not ascertain a lack of method for some.
Take the Godel statement itself, it is absolutely true,
it doesn't even need a proof.

Quote:
It's not the case that all (apparent) questions have answers.
It makes no sense to ask a question where there cannot be an answer.
The relativity of truth is that, truth is meaningful only with respect to a
particular method of deciding it.
Truth is that which can be shown to be the case within some method of
decision, imo.
