Which of the following states an argument against postmodernism?


Postmodernism is an alternative effort only related with the international relations.

Postmodernism is too influential in the field of International Relations.

Postmodernism does not challenge the scientific standpoints of modernism.

Postmodernists criticize all other methodologies by offering replacements.

Postmodernists don’t introduce an alternative methodology or viewpoint. 


Yanıt Açıklaması:

Positivism is an alternative effort not only related with the international relations but all social and natural sciences. (So it is not related to postmodernism.)

It is positivism which is still influential in the field of IR. It is not postmodernism criticised by others for not being influential enough.

Main agenda of post-modernism is to criticize modernism and refute its foundations but not replace it with certain methodological and social approaches. Because postmodernists do not offer alternatives to replace the existing ones -the ones that they criticise, they are themselves criticised.

Finally, Postmodernism actually challenges the scientific standpoints of modernism.
