the doctrine of Kant that all human knowledge is merely relative, or, rather, that we cannot prove it to be absolute.

But to call our knowledge relative is merely calling it human, or proportioned to the faculties of a man; just as the knowledge of angels may be called angelic.. Our knowledge may be admitted to be relative to our faculties of apprehending it; but that does not make it less certain. See Fleming, Vocab. of Philosoph. Science, s.v.
