Beyond Anti-Foundationalism to Rhetorical Authority: Problems Defining "Cultural Literacy."
Bizzell, Patricia
College English, v52 n6 p661-75 Oct 1990
Explains antifoundationalism which holds that there is no necessary nor self-evident knowledge. Notes that in rejecting the existence of absolute truth, antifoundationalism retains no ability to offer alternatives to foundationalist schemes for cultural literacy. Argues that foundationalism's critics must identify nonfoundational authority for their positions. (SG)
