Listen
$\qquad$ truth, or the idea that different things might be good for different people, was a distinctly modernist idea.
A) Literary
B) Relative
C) Absolute
D) Epistemological
Solution
Answer
The answer is B) Relative
Explanation
Option A: Literary
The term "literary" refers to anything related to literature or the writing of books, poems, etc. It does not specifically address the concept of truth or the idea that different things might be good for different people.
Option B: Relative
The concept of "relative" truth suggests that truth can vary based on different perspectives or contexts. This aligns with the idea that different things might be good for different people, which is a distinctly modernist idea.
Option C: Absolute
"Absolute" truth implies a universal truth that is the same for everyone, regardless of context or perspective. This is contrary to the idea of relative truth.
Option D: Epistemological
"Epistemological" relates to the study of knowledge and how we come to know things. While it is related to truth, it does not specifically address the idea of truth being different for different people.
