Mar 4 2010: I believe this discussion over the "absoluteness of truth" can be clarified highlighting, as Matthew well reminded above, *the human perception of reality*. The knowledge we humans produce is only an approximation of what we perceive of reality, which can be too deceiving and misleading, at times.Therefore, absolute truths can only be found in simple statements, such as "that is a flower" or "there are no absolute truths".
