Performative contradiction
An example of performative contradiction by a postmodernist is when they say truth statements are not possible. So that means what they just said is meaningless. They contradict themselves in the very act of making their assertion.
What false and reductionist worldviews demand is that they be allowed to be an exception to what they are declaring for everybody else.
Then if you pin them and they retreat to a nihilhist position they still have the same problem because the same language they use to declare nihilism (there is no meaning) has meaning.
Whether they like it or not they exist within the Logos, and the language they use has meaning. - C.
ps- Philosophers hate worldview analysis. I picked up on this when first getting into it. You'd see it in comments and forums. Because it nukes them so easily. Strikingly easily. It's synonymous with the biblical description of the fallen Satan. This is what was confounding the world? This?
