Sa mga nakiki-postmodern ngayon, to give critique on modernity na meron daw "pretense to have objectively grasped a total reality" actually does more to reveal naivette rather than wisdom since it is also making a "pretense to have objectively grasped" modernity's claim that it has grasped total reality when, in fact, modernity does not claim that at all.
Modern science which is a legitimate child of modernity does not claim to have objectively grasped reality. Mathematics does NOT -- yung "theory of everything" hindi pa rin nakakarating doon kasi ang quantum mechanics is a very stubborn field. No one in any field of science, philosophy, mathematics within the orbit of modernity has any legit claim concerning all of reality "Eureka!"
Even sa Christianity wala din (Mukhang yun lang naman ang gustong targetin ng #neighborology kasi mukhang gustong mag consolidate ng characterization ng Christianity on his nebulous pronouncements). Christianity since Athanasius' inscrutable God never claimed to have figure it out. Even yung dalawang tipo ng knowledge: "analogical" kay Aquinas at "univocity" kay Duns Scotus, wala kang mababanaag na ganitong pronouncement. Sa Protestantism with its archetypal at ectypal distinction, wala din. So kumbaga kung etong "pretense" na ito ay indictment sa Christianity, wala tayong provenance, or archaeology, or genealogy to justify that this is a stable intellectual formula.
Kumbaga yung allegation na "pretense' is merely a characterization at hindi argument.
So why do we have people assert and proclaim this false notion na "The Modernist pretense to have objectively grasped a total reality invariably results in a totalitarian social practice" sa Christianity at modernity?
Why?
The answer, should #neighborology respond, I would assume would be again as foggy as sulphuric haze in Mordor.
