Michael Luntley provides a lively introduction to the debate over postmodernism. Sympathisers of the postmodernist critique of absolute knowledge have jetisoned concepts of reason,t ruth 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 courses in philosophy and the social sciences.Luntley, Michael is the author of 'Reason, Truth and Self The Postmodern Reconditioned' with ISBN 9780415118521 and ISBN 0415118522.
