Theory of Postmodernist Epistemology

A framework drawing on postmodern thought that questions grand narratives of knowledge, exposes power relations embedded in knowing, deconstructs binary oppositions (objective/subjective, fact/value), and attends to marginalized ways of knowing. Postmodernist Epistemology doesn't deny that knowledge is possible—it denies that any knowledge comes from nowhere, serves everyone equally, or stands outside history. It studies how knowledge is produced through discourse, how power shapes what counts as true, and how excluded voices haunt the epistemic canon. It's epistemology that has taken the critical turn and refuses to pretend innocence.

Theory of Postmodernist Epistemology "You think science is pure truth-seeking. Postmodernist Epistemology asks: who funded the research? Whose interests does it serve? Who wasn't in the room? Not because science is wrong—because pretending it's innocent is dangerous. Knowledge always has politics. Postmodernism just refuses to look away."
