George's role, one of the longest in the English comic repertoire, is devoted mainly to the composition of a hilarious, interminable, outrageously convoluted lecture designed to prove that moral absolutes exist — and closely analogous, as I've said, to the address dictated by Dr. Huml in Havel's "The Increased Difficulty of Concentration".
For one thing, I would guess, the intrinsic merits of individualism; for another, a universe in which everything is relative yet in which moral absolutes exist; for a third, the probability that this paradox can be resolved only if we accept the postulate of a presiding deity.
It should be emphasized that no theoretical absolutes exist as reference values for those physical parameters of the phantom test.
Consider the kind of possibility exploited in a rough approximation of Leibniz's shift argument against absolute space: If absolute space exists, then there is a non-actual possibility, according to which all actual objects are uniformly shifted five feet from their actual spatial positions.
An absolute trust exists between him & the players.
Einstein located the difficulty in the assumption that absolute space exists; he postulated instead that the laws of nature are the same for observers in any inertial frame of reference and that the speed of light is the same for all such observers.
Some, however, deny that a relation of absolute identity exists.
More satisfactory (though partial) characterizations are available and the idea that such a relation of absolute identity exists is commonplace.
Again, however, a place without something placed in it is precisely what is meant by 'void.' Therefore, concluded al-Kindi, it is impossible that an absolute void exists (al-Kindi 1950, 109).
The carnage in Paris on Friday night is a harsh, brutal reminder that evil, absolute evil, exists.
