Postfoundationalism

Postfoundationalism is a theory of epistemology denoting a rejection of an assumed or given authority for a specific action or belief, but arguing, in dialectical fashion, for a rationale for action or belief.[1] The term was originally used in philosophical theology,[2] although since that time it has been used in wider philosophical discourse.
