I am admittedly working off the definition of it’s critics, including Wilber’s definition which includes, in his words: - constructivism (the world is not just a perception but an interpretation) - contextualism (all truths are context-dependent, and contexts are boundless) - integral-aperspectivism (no context is finally privileged, so an integral view should include multiple perspectives; pluralism; multi-culturalism)
Do you think this definition is missing the point? If yes, where do you think I should be looking for a better one?
I’ve been down this path. Just give up the idea of talking about “postmodernism” it causes too much confusion. Just say what you want directly without referencing this much confused and misunderstood ism.
Construtivists like Norbert Wiener aren’t post-modernists by most understandings of the term. If you for example look at the Wikipedia page for constructivism and for postmodernism there aren’t any overlapping names.
“The integral view should” that’s Ken Wilber speaking about his philosophy. It’s not some standard postmodern philosopher speaking.
