Is there a path to convincing PoMo supporters to adopting coherence, and rigor to their analysis?
-
Not if they are committed to anti-realism and anti-reason; if they think objective reality is naive & knowledge is subjective & constructed.
-
But most aren't so deeply ideologically committed & you can motivate them to hear you by recognising the moralistic underpinnings.
-
eg Culturally relative ethics are rooted in postcolonial guilt & concern for prejudice against marginalised groups. Can find common ground.

PoMo is verbal prestidigitation masquerading as critical thought. The entire enterprise is an exercise in charlatanry.
