On the one hand, all truth is relative; on the other hand, postmodernism tells it like it really is. On the one hand, all cultures are equally deserving of respect; on the other, Western culture is uniquely destructive and bad. Values are subjective--but sexism and racism are really evil. Technology is bad and destructive--and it is unfair that some people have more technology than others. Tolerance is good and dominance is bad--but when postmodernists come to power, political correctness follows. Stephen Hicks
About This Quote

Postmodernism is a philosophy that is sometimes used in the modern world. It refers to a worldview that rejects any type of objective truth, and it is often used for political purposes. The postmodernist believes that everything is relative, and there are no universal truths or facts. Everything is subject to change. For example, some people believe that all cultures are equal, while others believe that Western culture is uniquely destructive and bad.
