Post-modernisme: Mengenal akar pemikirannya

Memetakan Filsafat Post-modernisme

Originalitas Gagasan

“There is no truth but power, who holds the power he is able to create the truth and justice.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

Genealogical Approach• Genealogy is a style of historical thought

which registers the significance of power–knowledge relations.

• Genealogies ‘focus on the process by which we have constructed origins and given meaning to particular representations of the past, representations that continuously guide our daily lives.’ (Roland Bleiker)

Genealogy affirms a perspectivism which denies the capacity to identifyorigins and meanings in history objectively, consequently...

Knowledge is situated at a particular time; as a consequence of

heterogenity of possible contexts and position, there can be no single

truth, but only competing perspectives.

Masih tentang sains...• all knowledge is partial, partisan and

power-serving.• knowledge claims are never neutral

with respect to power relations which are, as a consequence, ubiquitous and diffuse.
