the postmodern soul

I have a whole module this term on knoweledge. Sociological knowledge and truth and whether we can ever get to such a thing. Using different models and different philsophers and pictching them in opposition to the classical science ideas of objectivity, method and rationality.

the whole point of this module; to discover whether we can ever get to truth. is there truth? A whole module on 5 little letters which are perhaps the most controversial of our time.

finally, we enter the postmodern soul.

Ah, the sociology of scientific knowledge. Chaos and complexity come flooding back.

Speaking as (apparently) a postmodern scientist, as you scratch away the veneer of modern science, I think you get left with staring God in the face. But I expect the world will start mixing a new surface paint in the next few years (they're starting to call it emergence). Anything to deny God his rightful place. Now is the time to pray for scientists who are Christians.
