The book explores the tension between postmodernism and Anglo-American analytic philosophy, focusing on the rejection of "objective truth" by postmodernists in favor of truth as a cultural construct. It highlights how critiques from the analytic school often stem from conservative political views, leading to dismissals that overlook the substantive arguments of postmodernists. This dynamic obscures deeper philosophical disagreements, as political agendas overshadow the intellectual discourse between these contrasting philosophical traditions.
