| [1] | "It can be described as a set of critical, strategic and rhetorical practices employing concepts such as difference, repitition, the trace, the simulacrum, and hyperreality to destablize other concepts such as presence, identity, historical progress, epistemic certainty, and the univocity of meaning." |
| [2] | "Postmodernism challenges and displaces this abstract, transcendental subject, arguing instead that subjects cannot be separated from their subjectivity, history and socio-cultural location. In the postmodern, there are no Archimedean points, the subject is, instead, decentred, enmeshed in the 'text' of the world, constituted in intersubjectivity, discourse and language. Equally, the separation of subject and object, objectivity and subjectivity, is itself a position maintainable only so long as the knower is posited as abstract and decontextualised and the object known posited as the 'other' unable to reflect back on and affect the knower." |
| [3] | "Of or relating to an intellectual stance often marked by eclecticism and irony and tending to reject the universal validity of such principles as hierarchy, binary opposition, categorization, and stable identity" |
| [4] | "the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy describes it as "a set of critical, strategic, and rhetorical practices employing concepts such as difference, repetition, the trace, the simulacrum, and hyperreality to destabilize other concepts such as presence, identity, historical progress, epistemic certainty, and the univocity of meaning." |
| [5] | "As David Novitz summarizes it, philosophical postmodernism 'is critical of the idea that the truth is aattainable, if by that is meant thta it is possible to determine and so come to know how things really are, in and of themselves, by using our natural faculties." |
| [6] | "In the face of radicalized forms of post-Kantian skepticism and anti-realism characteristic of postmodernism, both approaches champion a return to ontology at a higher turn of the spiral - a return to some form of realism that substantially integrates the epistemic advances of both (post)positivism and social constructivism, and thus is not a regression to a form of precritical, first philosophy (prima philosophia) or dogmatic metaphysics." |
| [7] | "Davide Lodge: postmodernism uses contradiction, discontinuity, randomness, excess, and short circuit. Iban Hassan: postmodernism 'modifies or extends' the modernist rubrics of urbanism, tehnologism, dehmunanization, primitivism, eroticism, and antinomianism, and experimentalism. Douwe Fokkema: postmodernism uses compositional and semantic conventions such as inclusiveness, deliberate indiscriminateness, nonselection or quasi-nonselection, and logical impossibility'." |
| [8] | "postmodernism remains unique in comigning relativism with skepticism as the core of its essence. The combination of both views leads to a challenging philosophical position regarding the nature of knowledge" |
| [9] | "Postmodernism, as our contributors have noted in various ways, stands in the philosophical tradition of skepticism." "The resulting skepticisim has ranged from an extreme refusal to make any truth claims (pyrrohonism) to an epistemically modest and pragmatic injuction to hold theory lightly and suspend judegement. The recent emphases on difference, rupture, ambiguity, social contructivism, and dissolution or muliplication of the subject have followed the more extreme tradition, while hermeneutics and pragmatism have remained closer to Aristotle's injuction to seek in every domain the kind of knowledge and degree of certainty appropriate to it." |
| [10] | "The belief in progress, so central to modernist thought, would, however, be challenged by postmodernism's critique of heritage imagineering and postmodernism's skepticism towards the idea that there is real, objective, knowable past, a skepticism towards the idea that there is a real, objective, knowable past, a bona fide, authoritative record of the evolutionary progress of human ideas and institutions." |
| [11] | "postmodernism seeks to destabilize notions of fixed or essential truths and identities" |
| [12] | "Postmodernism seeks to deconstruct, disrupt and replace existing theories and assumptions and explain human behavior, particularly those which underpin developmental psychology. Foucault's work, which opposed the idea that there are permanent truths (the sense of certainty and order, and that there is one right way), has been influential in challenging conventional thinking; deemed to be necessary because it has been produced by, and benefits, dominant groups in society" |
| [13] | "Postmodern criticism, arising in the late twentieth century, sought to destabilize this assumption of essences. The critique of essentialism challenges notions of theory focused on 'identifying fundamental determinants, 'underlying' structures and mechanisms, or necessary relations'" |
| [14] | "Fom a postmodern perspective the way to disrupt the oppresion of women is rather to recognize that any attempt to construct the meaning or truth of what 'woman' is will be exclusionary and repressive." |
| [15] | "Postmodernism serves the destabilizing purpose as it eviscerates enlightenment reality, leaving room for new ideas to fill the void." |
| [16] | "postmodern theory finds it very difficult to accept the existence of truth, certainty, objectivity, and reality." |
| [17] | "In this he differs most distinctly from the theorists/practitioners of postmodernism who - as I have tried to show for Barthes - attempt ot juxtapose a number of different epistemologies in such way that none of them appears as a privileged repository of the truth." |
| [18] | "When postmodernist discourse tries to undermine the very concept of truth, it cannot help but imply that it is true that there is no truth." |
