In Barry's last post, he mentions the postmodern idea of different paradigms and a set of perspectives that constitute knowledge. Similarly, postmodern thinkers often speak about multiple truths. Very early in the semester, we talked in class about truth as function of the relationship between truth claims and something that they refer to, which seems to consist of objective reality. I think that it seems sensible to entertain the notion of multiple valid interpretations of a similar reality. This leads me also to consider the unity or multiplicity of objective reality itself. Is objective reality necessarily one unitary referent, or is it a multiplicity of references? Do both options constitute valid interpretations?
