Relative ideas about the Absolute are absurd.


The Absolute is only the whole movement through various relative stages of understanding, but the progress of knowledge never comes to an end, so the absolute is relative.

Absolute then can not be relative. Absolute is just the whole picture at the moment, you said it. We leave in stone age societies, where recognazing the fact you dont know all in anything is a strange thing. So you dont have the courage to recognize this, because you have to said it "absolute is then relative". It is not only we have the small machine which is not produced with capavilities to know it all.
