Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In the view of postmodernism, the correspondence theory of truth is God-eye truth theory or mirror-like truth theory, and the theoretical premises of logic centralism of the correspondence theory of truth, representationalism, foundationalism, essentialism and so on, are unreasonable. Post-modernism emphasizes replacing the correspondence theory of truth by language game, and holds that truth is based on community and there is no objective truth except subjective and relative truths. The author of the paper argues that although the truth theory of post-modernism is partly reasonable, it can not turn into the mainstream of the theories of truth because its puzzledoms can not be conquered.
