Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, science which was seen as the principal intellectual act of modern man since the Enlightenment will be investigated in the context of postmodern criticism. Specially, the possibility of science as a metanarrative in the postmodern condition will be questionized within the framework of Lyotard, Feyerabend and Rorty. And also, this paper aims to reveal the general answer for the postmodern critics of notions of truth, objectivity and rationality whether annihilate the possibility of science or not.
