Books for understanding postmodern subjectivism?

[Anonymous No.14757924]

How does the statement "there is no objective truth" not appeal to the concept of objective truth? Isn't subjectivism contradictory because it always rests on a dubious metaphysical claim? I promise I'm not here to troll I genuinely want to understand postmodernism better.

I think most postmodernists would disagree with the idea that there is no objective truth- objectivity exists, but my claim that purports to be objective necessarily depends on a particular frame (or metanarrative) that may or may not be true. one of the big problems you might encounter with scientific objectivity is what the data is being used for, what grand narrative or agenda is being served through those supposedly “neutral” facts.

Modernists think objective truth exists and can be achieved with proper appilaction of reason. Pomos generally believe objective truth might exist but that it can't be achieved by humans using reason.

>Reason itself is a specific Western tradition (ideology) competing with other traditions, like faith and other cultural means of knowing.
I know we like to shit on stemfags, but seriously, try to write a computer program using faith or "other cultural means of knowing".

Yeah that's a religious work that still had to obey the objective, transcendental logic, or it wouldn't compile - Being rejects bad code!
