That is a truth within our intellectual meaning, but not an absolute truth. Let's say in another country where they speak a different kind of English (play along) it translates to a different meaning. So therefor it's a truth to us, but still not an absolute truth. Now you may say, "what if the meaning is an absolute truth?", well meaning can not be sent from one person to another directly, we must use language, so meaning can become different. It's all perception. Maybe it shouldn't be "there are no absolute truths", but "we can not comprehend any absolute truths through our limited senses". Sorry if this is confusing, I don't think I'm explaining it quite right, but trust me they had it worked out more than for us to stop at the phrase contridicting itself. |

Anonymouse | "There are no absolute truths" is logical fallacy. While it claims there are no absolute truths, it itself presents itself as an absolute truth, thereby contradicting itself. So much for postmodernism. | |

Helm | The ancient greeks would disagree with you. Marx would disagree with you. And boy, would nietjyhdhfche disagree with you. | |

Anonymouse | Basically postmodernism is nothing new and is regurgitated material from ancient Greeks, Marx, Nietzsche and others. The basic core of it is that there are no absolute truths, which I won't even go into how absurd it sounds. | |

There are some pretty good links for postmodern thought on this site (about half-way down the page): LINK |

Question about Postmodern Theory For those of you that have read and studied Postmodern Theory to some extent, I have a question: Is postmodern theory meant to be descriptive of the society we live in? Are they suggesting the society we live in is meaningless? |
