Many postmodern theorists and some feminists and have argued that knowledge is always partial, situated, and embodied. Such an epistemology makes universal Truth as an impossibility since only a relational truth between knower and known is possible. Postmodern epistemologies also make claims for social justice problematic (if not impossible) since there can be no standard upon which to base such claims Steven Best and Doug Kellner.
