Protagoras: Truth is relative. It is only a matter
of opinion.
Socrates: You mean that truth is mere subjective
opinion?
Protagoras: Exactly. What is true for you is true for
you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Truth is subjective.
Socrates: Do you really mean that? That my opinion is
true by virtue of its being my opinion?
Protagoras: Indeed I do.
Socrates: My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not
opinion, and that you, Mr. Protagoras, are absolutely in error. Since this
is my opinion, then you must grant that it is true according to your
philosophy.
Protagoras: You are quite correct, Socrates.
