Full Idea
The tempter: There are many different eyes, .... and consequently there are many different 'truths', and consequently there is no truth.
Gist of Idea
It is tempting to think many eyes means many truths - so not truth

A Reaction
First time around I failed to notice his heading of 'the tempter' before this idea. Out of context, it can make him a total relativist - but that contradicts almost everything else he said about truth. He was not a relativist!
