Relativism

“The curiosity which is always seeking to discover   more seems to be one of the necessary conditions of life. But seeking   is only serious if the seeker is following some clue, has some intuition   of what it is that he seeks, and is willing to commit himself or herself  to following that clue, that intuition. Merely wandering around in a clueless   twilight is not seeking. The relativism which is not willing to speak  about truth but only about “what is true for me” is an evasion of the serious   business of living. It is the mark of a tragic loss of nerve in our  contemporary culture. It is a preliminary symptom of death.”

From The Gospel in a Pluralist Society by Lesslie Newbigin.
