I don’t have a doctorate in philosophy but I’m comfortable dealing with it at any level.
Many philosophers, including Singer, trip and fall over the subjective in their attempts to get at the objective. This is part of the process of transitioning from philosopher (lover of wisdom) to philosophist (lover of bad or false arguments).
Postmodernism tried to tell us we could change any text—as is attempted here with the Bible—into whatever we please. But postmodernism begins with a desire to end all truth. And in denying truth, postmodernism makes a truth claim and thus refutes itself—destroying all of postmodernism in one fell swoop.
Four years of lectures from postmodernist philosophers seems like a lot to unlearn, especially since it’s a task faced by millions of current and future graduates. But I’m convinced it can be done with as little effort as it takes to remember that truth is not subjective.
“Four years of lectures from postmodernist philosophers” should have been “Four years of lectures from postmodernist professors”
