What is challenged by relativists is the pretence on any one's part to have found for certain at any given moment what the shape of that truth is.
The Relativists would have it that with the acceptance of their point of view the ether may be eliminated; but if they take away the ether, they must give us something in its stead. In whatever way the science of the future disposes of this problem, it must take into account the fact of light transmission.
They accuse relativists and we pragmatists are typical relativists of being debarred by their self-adopted principles, not only from the privilege which rationalist philosophers enjoy, of believing that these principles of their own are truth impersonal and absolute, but even of framing the abstract notion of such a truth, in the pragmatic sense, of an ideal opinion in which all men might agree, and which no man should ever wish to change.
The accuracy of the result is vitiated by a condition of things to which the Relativists have called attention.
