Description

Postmodernism is a movement that focuses on the reality of the individual, denies statements that claim to be true for all people and is often expressed in a pared-down style in arts, literature and culture. - yourdictionary.com

Stephen Colbert:

It used to be, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. But that’s not the case anymore. Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything… Truthiness is “what I say is right, and nothing anyone else says could possibly be true.” It’s not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true.

From postmodernism it follows that there are no objective moral truths, simply personal preferences.

This undermines

The good news? Nobody is actually a postmodernist

Greg Koukl

Everyone is already deeply convinced of the truth, even when he denies it. True, our culture is driven by a postmodern impulse, but deep down each of us is a common-sense realist. Those who are not are either dead, in an institution, or sleeping in cardboard boxes under the freeway.

Even the most postmodern among us is only postmodern on political, moral, and religious issues

But there are objective morals!

Brett Kunkle’s Truth test

Subjective claims are neither true nor false
