Reason, Truth and Self - The Postmodern Reconditioned (Paperback, New)

Michael Luntley provides a lively introduction to the debate over postmodernism.Sympathisers of the postmodernist critique of absolute knowledge have jetisoned concepts of reason,truth and self;this abandonment has fuelled their opponents' case against postmodernism.This has led them to ignore the very real problems raised by the postmodernists.Luntley offers a clear and careful exposition of how rational debate survives despite the Enlightenment's failings.
Reason,Truth and Self covers many of the key questions of our age:
* How rational is science?
* Can we really know the truth about ourselves and the world?
* What is the nature of the mind?
* Can we know the difference between right and wrong?
Reason,Truth and Self is ideal for introductory courses in philosophy and the social sciences.
