Satya P. Mohanty

Literary theory and the claims of history: postmodernism, objectivity, multicultural politics - Delhi Oxford University Press 1997 - xiii, 260p.

At the core of postmodern thought, especially in literary theory, is the belief that such ideals as truth, reason, and objectivity are social constructs that have no universal or trans-historical validity. In exploring this constructivist view, Satya P. Mohanty examines its underlying epistemological claims and their social and political implications. His book points the way toward a critical alternative to the epistemological and cultural relativisms.
