This is why I am beginning to think we need to stop saying 'postmodernism' which is too broad & easily confused and find a term just for this epistemology which works on a perception of society dominated by discourses of power in which knowledge & ethics are positional & relative
No, I don't think so. I think we can show the problem with epistemologies like faith and standpoint theory as epistemologies without giving them any kind of highground.

No you have to examine the ontological claims they make, and deal with each in terms of the epistemological grounds they rest on. Just trying to help and I've been doing this for a long time in published debates with the key postmoderns in my field and beyond. It's a trap...

I am not sure why you think I disagree with you on this. I suggest arguing with someone who does.
-
So for "this epistemology".... Your words not mine...
-
Yes. We must criticise this epistemology based on standpoint theory but we shouldn't call it 'postmodernism' which is much broader. Why does this make you think you need to tell me postmodernism is not an epistemology?
-
We need a term *just* for this epistemology because postmodernism is not just this epistemology. I had thought that was clear but you have shown me it can somehow be read as 'postmodernism is just this epistemology'. Fair enough. No point insisting I think that & shouldn't tho.
