  • Product Description

    In this incisive study, Ernest Gellner suggests that we face three ideological options at the present time: belief in objective truth and religious faith, belief that truth is culturally relative, or belief that while objective truth may exist, no one society can fully possess it.

    Gellner examines each option, showing why religious zeal has remained dominant in fundamentalist Muslim societies, and how subjectivist and postmodernist thinking have become a way for Westerners to respond to the sins of the West's colonial period, a time when its social sciences made claims to objectivity.
