Narratives about Knowledge and Argumentation in the Postmodern Era

Abstract

How can we know, whether the words reflect the reality or are we just manipulated by them? How can we know that the statement is scientific? Can there be a legitimation process for a statement, which convinces us that the statement is scientific? Can there be a model of scientific language and what are the criteria to determine it? What do the authors from the postmodern era say about that?

Keywords: Methodology, Scientific argumentation, Postmodern condition, Lyotard
