Higgs, Philip
Studies in Philosophy and Education, v22 n6 p487-496 Nov 2003
Author argues that the philosophical movement known as postmodernism seriously undermined the notion that truth can be at all objective and that truth depends entirely on democratic consensus. Addresses Davon-Galle's criticism of the author's assertions and explains that the certainty that Davon-Galle seeks is not to be found in philosophy or any other realm of human life. (MZ)
