This philosophical position means that we have to give up the project of philosophy as the search for Truth.
We are stuck in our historical conditions and our contingent (chance accidental) language, and we cannot expect to step outside them to reach absolute Truths or Reality-In-Itself.
Ultimately, we cannot offer any absolute foundation to our beliefs, nor can we can find absolute justifications which would be able to persuade every reasonable person that we are right.
It means giving up what Nietzsche called ‘metaphysical comfort’.
