Relative truth is the philosophical view that truth is not universal, but instead is dependent and contextual, built from the perspective of the subject. It allows for the idea that multiple perceptions of an event or situation may exist, each of which can be true depending on the vantage point. It therefore stands opposed to the absolute notion of truth which implies an absolute, static, and unwavering answer to all questions. Relative truth is contingent, contextual and ever-evolving, reflecting the ever-changing nature of the human experience.
