Hello Everyone, I am doing an assignment for school and would love your anyone who is willing to fill out this questionnaire about their worldview. I would also love to discuss deeper with anyone as to why they answered the way they did.

1. What worldview do you hold to and why?

2. Is this worldview followed by any other members of your family?

3. Has this changed your perspective on religion? / are you religious?

4. How has your worldview shaped your ethics, morals, biology, theology?

5. Do you see any flaws within your worldviews way of thinking?

6. Are you willing to talk on this further with me?

Friends, I’m conducting a study (IRB approved) on masculinity. Check it out!

What’s it like being a man today? How did the phrase “toxic masculinity” find its way into that? What does it mean to be a man in today’s society? If you are interested in sharing your thoughts on these questions, follow the link below to participate in a research project. All who identify as a man are welcome to participate…

If postmodernism is the idea that there can be no one narrative to describe society and reality and instead there are multiple narratives viewed from different perspective that we must use collectively, then does that mean that postmodernism rejects empiricism as the one correct way to describe reality? If so, than how is that useful (I currently feel like empiricism and the scientific method IS the correct narrative), and if not, why? I don't really have a problem with the society part, but more so with the reality part. This is a sincere question, and I'm not using it to try and push any view on postmodernism. Also, I'm not super educated on the subject, so forgive me if my understandings are flawed.

Recently I've found myself frustrated by the ubiquity of cartesian binaries in western culture. It seems an overly simplistic, Manichean way of unedrstanding the complexity of the world. This dualism even seems to play itself out in Marx's dialectics. However, what interests me most about these binaries are the cultural discourses that underpin them. For example, the mind/body distinction seems to carry certain gendered connotations and the man/nature dichotomoy, certain colonial connotations.

Within the discipline of science, such philosophical distinctions seem to be so deeply embedded that they code such gendered and colonial discourses under the guise of neutrality. In this case, is it possible to talk of science and its claim to neutrality as an ideology?

​

TLDR:

1. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some reads/concepts that critique this overly binaristic mode of thought that dominates western philosophy? I'm aware Derrida did a lot on this front but from what I've heard he's a pretty challenging read (I'm currently expending most of my philosophical energy grappling with Deleuze and Guattari, so a secondary source would be nice :) ).

2. I was also wondering if anyone could suggest some reads/concepts within the feminist or postmodern sphere that critique scientific neutrality as ideology?
