I don't entirely dismiss postmodernism. In fact, I agree with postmodernists on some fields. For example, I'm sure you know about the impossiblity of perfect communication or perfect objectivity. I accept both as at least probably true.
What I dislike about postmodernism are some of its contradictions, such as the denial of objective truth. I dislike that denial, because it is a truth in and of itself. It is one thing to deny that we may know truth; it is quite another to deny the very existence of truth. Unless we are miscommunicating here and operating under entirely different definitions of what truth is.
In any case, will you answer one thing for me? When Lyotard denies the metanarrative, does he not create a metanarrative himself?
