What the post-modern and others want to be able to say is that there
are no universalt truths. This in itself is a universal statement and
therefor sets up a logical contradiction and is an invalid or untrue
statement. The best that can be said is that some statements are
universal and some are not. I don’t mind if someone were to say that
the number of universal statements is zero.
I think that a reflective postmodern would say that all stories and story tellers are situated in certain times and places. And then they might press you to tell them how one goes about seperating out "a universal statement" from the many situated stories and interpretations.
