Objective truth is truth that is independent of individual differences, differences in circumstance, time and place. What is objectively true is always true and true for all men everywhere at all times." Yes , the Greeks had a saying when Caesar was young ....that the fire that burns in Athens burns as hot and just as bright in Egypt .

"The only standard we have for judging all of our social, economic, and political institutions and arrangements as just or unjust, as good or bad, as better or worse, derives from our conception of the good life for man on earth, and from our conviction that, given certain external conditions, it is possible for men to make good lives for themselves by their own efforts." ~ Mortimer J. Adler radicalacademy.com Well he was a pagan most of his life by choice ...and then much later towards the last converted to Christianity and became a Roman Catholic. Interesting fellow, seemed a sound well-meaning philosopher, an active teacher & happy summer camper in Aspen in a worthwhile Great Ideas project held there for 30yrs , and he got himself saved and baptised in the end . His book : "(1992) A Second Look in the Rearview Mirror: Further Autobiographical Reflections of a Philosopher At Large" describes his conversion back to the Mother Church based on a lifetime of Philosophy and teaching . Have you looked into it ? Might be a good read... Do you believe in the "Mother Church"? ;-)
