This is a book that I am reading for my senior sem class. The book deals with the new movement that is mixing Christianity and postmodernism. In the book he gives this argument that postmodernism channels the discussion into a deceptive "antithesis" where humans know something as a whole or completely OR since they don't there is no knowledge.
I think this idea is common to a lot of thinkers. The end result of this is of course that no knowledge is possible because no body can no everything about anything. But why can't we know something even if it is a little bit. Does the fact that I don't know everything else really mean that I don't know something.
I feel like this is the big question in epistemology. Like the whole brain in vat thing and skeptics. Or that you see that you have hands but do you know that you have hands. Do i have to know everything in order to know that i have hands? if so then no i dont know i have hands...but i feel like i know..yup there they are typing.
