Never forget the relativism: a denying of truth, objectivity, etc. due to their ideological character.

The human knowledge is a social and ideological product, according to postmodernists. Textualism, constructivism and power to knowledge relation would, probably, serve as key principles of postmodernism.

I could way off the mark here - don't have enough knowledge but I'd say all they achieve is opposing ideology to ideology. The fact that they also assume that the current sum of knowledge as an absolute doesn't help either.
