The application of postmodern critique to knowledge itself: questioning grand narratives of inevitable epistemic progress, exposing the power relations embedded in knowledge claims, deconstructing the binary oppositions that structure Western epistemology (reason/emotion, objective/subjective, fact/value), and attending to marginalized ways of knowing excluded from the canon. Epistemological Postmodernism doesn't deny that knowledge is possible—it denies that any knowledge comes from nowhere, serves everyone equally, or stands outside history. It's epistemology forced to look at its own reflection.
