Greetings Steve, My understanding of truth has a more Buddhist flavor. All static patterns of value are what the Buddhist call Conventional truth, not Absolute Truth, but true by convention based on experience. A pattern's truth is relative to experience, or each experience represents its own truth. Your questions seem a request for a universal truth that doesn't make sense to me because truth is related to experience.
Is there only one slavery?

I was really just trying to help clarify what it is we are talking about. I think dancing is just fine. Can you think of doing philosophy as dancing? Among guys it does probably seem like a battle some times, or a game with winners and losers, but maybe it can be a dance. I am interested in your interest with multiple truths, and I still wonder if you mean something like "(2) X is true for Bob but not true for Rich" or maybe something like "(5) Bob is justified in believing X while Rich is justified in believing Y and X and Y are both statements about slavery and are both true." But if all this is boring relative to you though it is interesting relative to me I will understand.
