THE POSTMODERN DENIAL OF KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING


We know enough about reality to know that it is quite strange, even awesome. However, we cannot say that there are no definitive answers. To say this is to give a definitive answer.

Nor can we fall back to the defensive position that "we cannot trust logic," but such a position is logically and evidentially unsupportable and puts the kibosh on all learning - life itself.

To illustrate this point, we can also ask, "Did you come to this conclusion using reason and evidence?" Of course, neither could ever lead to such a conclusion.

It is like a computer telling the software, "Go away. I don't need you."
