It seems the difference is sharper. Both accept that such "notions" exist. Harris denies they have any basis in reality, Peterson doesn't.
And neither are postmodernists. They also accept as true some things which are objective and some which are subjective narratives. Robert Eaglestone calls this 'the metaphysics of correspondence' & 'primordial truth.' The former is a subcategory.

So you will then agree Peterson is indeed not a Postermodernist?
-
He's not a postmodernist, no. He just has the same rationale for subjective truth being constructed in narratives.
-
Morality is subjective truth, so again I think you just fail to understand the topic all together.
-
No, I don't fail to understand it. I disagree that this is truth. I know that people call all kinds of subjective stuff 'truth' and 'knowledge' & therefore they deny the objective nature of truth. Includes postmodernists & Prof Peterson.
-
This is the nub of the criticism. You may not like being called the denial of objective truth. Perhaps you could live with 'The denial that all forms of truth and knowledge are objective.' Either way, it is what both PoMos & JP are criticised for.
