Subjective truth is self-refuting -- every claim for it is itself an objective truth claim

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 11) 00:35:48 – 00:37:53

Responding to Arno's question about how to respond to claims that all truth is subjective

Mike's refutation: the claim 'all truth is subjective' is itself an objective statement about all truth, making it self-defeating. The approach he recommends is persistently pointing out that every counter-move the person makes is itself a truth claim. Subjective truth is characterized as the weakest philosophical view because it makes the self the sole arbiter of reality and eliminates accountability. Mike addressed this in more depth in Episode 10.
