what a meaningless question

are you afraid of words you don't understand kid

Read Hume on whether empirical knowledge can be accurate.

i understand the words just the way they are used makes no sense in accordance with their meaning

There is no accurate world view.

i disagree

but that's exactly what postmodernism implies

that's because you don't understand the meanings of the words

post-modernism isn't a worldview

that's objectively untrue

you're not demonstrating post-modernism, you're just being intellectually lazy

postmodernism is a cultural worldview

that doesn't make any sense because it's not a single view

postmodernism is a pseudointellectual cancer that somehow managed to worm its way into academia

Ceci n'est pas une vision du monde.

It isn't, you just need to be smart enough to understand it and most memers here aren't qualified academics for such task.

It might meet the minimal standards for academic work, but it is poor academic work, a bad research programme, and grossly deficient to make the claims it makes.

What the fuck is postmodernism?

You might start by reading Derrida.

He was a post structuralist, wasn't he? They came after that didn't they?

Not really. The split inside the structuralist movement was the chief indicator of the breaking down of the grand narrative project amongst French modernist liberal academics.

The fact that this is a null debate for anti-structuralists, such as the humanists, whigs, tories, communists etc., is pretty indicative of the vacuousness of this marginal research project.

all conclusions and no argument

What is a worldview? What is accurate? What is postmodernism? What is anything?
