Protagoras is credited with the philosophy of relativism and his very famous work is also somewhere around it.

So he means to say that an individual is a measure of how things are perceived by that individual.
00:34
Therefore, things are or not true according to how individuals perceive them.

So let us consider there are two persons, person x and there is another one who is person y.
00:46
Person x believes that the weather is cold.
00:51
According to the person y, the weather is hot.
00:55
So there are two different people.
00:57
According to the philosophy of protagoras, there is no absolute valuation or evaluation i may say of the nature of weather.

You cannot come to know only because each person feels things very differently.
01:21
And according to this, a person x may feel weather is cold, y may feel it is hot.
01:27
This philosophy implies that there is no absolute truth.
01:33
The truth according to protagoras is relative.
01:36
So it's just a relative truth according to an individual...
