The Postmodern Lie: The Biggest Lie of All
Postmodernism states that there are no truths. It makes this statement as a truth in itself. Therefore, postmodernism contradicts itself. It follows from the postmodern belief that because there is no truth, there is no right or wrong. Morality is dependent on how people see it from the postmodernist perspective. However, it everything is relative, then why condemn things like murder, rape and torture? Postmodernism is largely to blame for the rise in moral relativism. I would argue that morality is not relative. If it is, then, why should humans be treated with equal respect? Postmodern enables escape of moral accountability.
