ABSTRACT
Emphasising ‘the elusiveness of meaning and knowledge’, postmodernism ‘has permeated in a fragmentary way nearly all aspects of contemporary culture and thought’. Postmodernist thinkers have taught us to be cautious in making truth claims. Though claims to absolute truth are not tenable, there are, nevertheless, better or worse answers. On what Cheryl Misak (2016) calls a ‘low-profile conception of truth’ (p. 59), it is possible to arrive ‘at a belief or policy that will stand up to the evidence and reasons currently available’.
