Beware the Illusion of Absolute Truth

The pursuit of objective truth, often revered akin to religious beliefs, leads to the development of grand narratives that impose a singular perspective on reality. This tendency can obscure individual viewpoints and foster delusions of universality, causing significant societal issues when these narratives are enacted. Postmodernists critique this modernist mistake, advocating for a recognition of the limitations and dangers of claiming absolute truths while emphasizing the need to move beyond such frameworks to avoid their adverse consequences.
