The Shift in Philosophical Assumptions
Throughout history, philosophers have developed their own systems to define the world based on intense contemplation and reasoning. It has been assumed that these systems would become more accurate and unbiased over time. However, in the 20th century, structuralists and post-structuralists challenged this notion, arguing that individual philosophers' views were shaped by their cultural context. Language was also recognized as an insufficient tool for defining the universe. These critiques led to a deconstruction of grand narratives and a reevaluation of the purpose and direction of philosophy.
