Reason Truth and Self

<p>Michael Luntley provides a lively introduction to the debate over postmodernism. Sympathisers of the postmodernist critique of absolute knowledge have jetisoned concepts of reasont 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.<br><em>Reason Truth and Self</em> covers many of the key questions of our age:<br> * How rational is science?<br> * Can we really know the truth about ourselves and the world?<br> * What is the nature of the mind?<br> * Can we know the difference between right and wrong?<br><em>Reason Truth and Self</em> is ideal for courses in philosophy and the social sciences.</p>
