Extract

Postmodernists claim that there is no truth. However, the statement ‘there is no truth’ is self-contradictory. This essay shows the following: One cannot state the idea ‘there is no truth’ universally without creating a paradox. In contrast, the statement ‘there is truth’ does not produce such a paradox. Therefore, it is more logical that truth exists.
