| Publisher Description: This exciting and accessible guide to the discussions of truth in the social sciences can also be read as an account of the collapse of modernity, and the rise of new forms of thought which treat difference and ambivalence as positive values. Ross Abbinnett traces the debate on truth from the objectifying powers′ of Kant through more than 200 years of critique and reformulation to the unravelling of truth by Lyotard, Foucault and Derrida. |
