Postmodern philosophy, relativism, and a renewed vision of education
Abstract
dc:descriptionContemporary postmodern philosophy has been characterized by its radical rejection of the epistemic foundations and metanarrative of modern philosophy. By denying the ultimate Archimedean point for grounding truth, objectivity, and rationality, postmodern philosophy invokes relativism in which the contingent, hermeneutical, and historical nature of human knowledge and rationality is emphasized.
