Do you acknowledge no middle ground between "all things are mutable and subjective" and "all things are absolute and objective"?

Steve, if it is middle ground it is then mutable and subjective. You cannot be a "little pregnant" as they say.

But I acknowledge mine as subjective, based on information or perception which may not be complete (nobody's is), and possibly in error. I have no respect for absolutism in any philosophy or in any form.

A judgment based on subjectivity has no value, therefore it cannot be a "value judgment". A philosophy that does not define absolutes is not philosophy.

Perceptions of objective reality have changed since Aristotle. They continue to change today.

Not true: A is still A.

I can think of one: Emile is an ass.

Ha-ha-ha!! Yes, I have to agree with you there, Steve.
