‘VICTORY,’ ‘SUCCESS,’ And Other Debatable Judgments…
The relativism which seems to pervade large parts of the world shows itself mainly in the realm of ‘value-judgments’ (‘How do we know what is good or bad?’ ‘How can we know?’ ‘Who’s to judge?’ etcetera). A corollary of such uncertainty is that the meaning of words is undermined to the point of being lost, so that even if people believe that they know what a word means they... Read More
