In logic, or the consideration of valid arguments, a [[proposition]] is said to have universality if it can be conceived as being true in all possible contexts without creating a [[contradiction]]. Some philosophers have referred to such propositions as [[universalizability|universalizable]]. [[Truth]] is considered to be universal if it is valid in all times and places. In this case, it is seen as [[eternal]] or as [[absolute]]. The [[relativism|relativist conception]] denies the existence of some or all universal truths, particularl ethical ones (through [[moral relativism]]). [[Mathematics]] is a field in which those truths discovered, in relation to the field of mathematics, are typically considerered of universal scope. Usage of the word ''truth'' has various domains of application, relativism does not necessarily apply to all of them.
