objectivity, relativism, postmodernism

• what's the issue of all perspectives involving values?


  -their findings are just a reflection of their values

  -not objective facts
• what view do postmodernists take?


  relativist
• how do postmodernists address their relativist view?


  -different groups, cultures & individuals all have different values on truth

  -each viewpoint is relative to them

  -no independent way to judge whether one view is truer than another

  -no single, over-riding truth but 'pluralism of truth'

  -every truth is true to the individual
• AO3 :

  -post-modernism claims there's no single truth/theory of how society works

  > so how can post-modernism claim relativism to be true?
• AO3 : relativism is self defeating


  -claims to be telling us something true

  -also telling us no one can tell us what's true
