| Popis: | Postmodernisme se epistemologie, wat vir die bevordering van antimetanarratiewe, se kernintelligentsia bekend is, toon duidelike marxistiese vooronderstellings. Akademici het al verskeie pogings aangewend om ‘n verband tussen postmodernisme en marxisme aan te toon. Postmodernisme se bevordering van antimetanarratiewe en die positiewe gesindheid wat teenoor die marxistiese metanarratief in sommige van hierdie denkrigtings sigbaar is, skep ‘n anomalie. Binne die historiese ontwikkeling van marxisme kan elemente van hierdie anomalie beter verstaan word. Die artikel toon aan hoe die mislukkings van kommunisme histories bygedra het tot sommige aspekte wat binne postmodernistiese epistemologie ontwikkel het. Hieruit blyk dit dat hoewel die postmodernistiese epistemologie antimetanarratief ingestel is sommige postmodernistiesgesinde akademici dit as ‘n tegniek gebruik om absolutisties-marxistiese idees te bevorder. Hierby is sosialegeregtigheidsbewegings waaraan sommige Christelike groeperinge deelneem, ingesluit. The historical-theoretical connection between postmodernism and marxist epistemology: A Christian perspective Abstract Postmodernism, known for its epistemology that promotes anti-metanarratives, has a core intelligentsia that shows explicit marxist assumptions. Academics have made various attempts to demonstrate a connection between postmodernism and marxism. The promotion of anti-metanarratives within postmodernism and the positive attitude towards the marxist metanarrative visible in some of these schools of thought create an anomaly. Within the historical development of marxism, elements of this anomaly can be better understood. The article illustrates how the historical failures of communism contributed to certain aspects that developed within postmodernist epistemology. It becomes evident that although postmodernist epistemology is anti-metanarrative in nature, it is used by some postmodernist-inclined academics as a technique to promote absolutist marxist ideas. This includes the social justice movements that some Christian groups participate in. https://doi.org/10.19108/KOERS.89.1.2574 |
