I think the mistake postmodernism makes (although it does the same sleight-of-hand as mentioned here) is to try and replace a scientific (broadly speaking) view with narratives when they are both needed by us and dependent on each other.
We cannot have a meaningful narrative without the brute facts.
Great and thought-provoking read! I've been thinking about this concept lately, too; thanks for adding some things to consider regarding narrative and materialism.
This was a great read!
I got here as a recommendation from your dad's philosophy lectures.
You can check my essays out too if you want.
