Q

How would you characterize the difference between modernism and postmodernism?

A

Modernism, for example, would generally hold that we can have “Truth” in some universal sense that transcends our particular situation–our personal history, our culture, our language. Postmodernism doubts that. Modernism holds that truth rests on a foundation of things we can know without appealing to other ideas (i.e., foundationalism). Postmodernism rejects foundationalism. Modernism holds that truth is what corresponds to reality (correspondence theory of truth). Postmodernism doubts that we can have such knowledge. It settles for what does not contradict itself (coherentism), or what works in life (pragmatism)
