  6. “Postmodernism questions those grand meta-narratives imagined by modernism. Perhaps no one person can know "the truth" about anything, if only because no truth may be experienced directly. According to postmodern authors and artists, the "presence" of truth is inevitably mediated through a range of filters, most notably fallible language.” - Dr. Andrew Wood
