Nothingness is unchanging, as there is nothing to change. Absolutes are unchanging. "Absolute" may strictly be defined as another term for nothingness within certain contexts of language.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2025 3:53 amI would have reservations with "two sides of the same coin" since the "single coin" could end up as an absolutely "Absolute".
I started with Eastern Philosophy which is more flexible and dynamic against the very rigid base, i.e. philosophical realism of Western Philosophy.
Since philosophical realism is an evolutionary default, it was also prevalent in the East but some philosophical savants from the East had understood its limitations and advanced to sound philosophical-antirealist theories and practices.
This is the reason why 99% of posters I encountered in this forum cannot understand [not agree with] most of the Eastern grounded views I presented.
Btw, there is the "Septemlemma" i.e. 7 modes of truths from Jainism to reflect on. Cannot find the precise link, here something on it;
Note, >500BCE;Anekāntavāda (Sanskrit: अनेकान्तवाद, "many-sidedness", Tamil: பல்லுரை) is the Jain doctrine about metaphysical truths that emerged in ancient India.[1] It states that the ultimate truth and reality is complex and has multiple aspects and viewpoints.
According to Jainism, no single, specific statement can describe the nature of existence and the absolute truth. This knowledge (Kevala Jnana), it adds, is comprehended only by the Arihants. Other beings and their statements about absolute truth are incomplete, and at best a partial truth.[3] All knowledge claims, according to the anekāntavāda doctrine must be qualified in many ways, including being affirmed and denied.[4] Anekāntavāda is a fundamental doctrine of Jainism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anekantav ... dv.C4.81daIt is the ignorance of the above and ancient sophisticated and advanced philosophies, that propelled arrogant blockheads like FDP & gang to claim they are so superior to impose their bastardized and corrupted philosophy [based on cheapo classical logic] on me and others who do not agree with them.The origins of anekāntavāda can be traced back to the teachings of Mahāvīra (599–527 BCE), the 24th Jain Tīrthankara, and the predecessor Tirthankars.[5]
From another respect the inherent cyclical and linear nature of experience may also be absolute as these intuitive geometric processes are continual within consciousness.
An absolute truth may exist but it's simplicity would be so subtle that it may not have any percievable use in a practical senses.
