While Rorty’s writing is characterized by an extravagant relativism, this is always moderated by assurances that ‘of course’ this or that shared knowledge that we have about the world can be taken for granted and will not be subjected to scrutiny; this is because ‘He cannot cope with explaining how, if there is not something which is what it is apart from any description, there could be something which pre-existed all description; as to the best of our knowledge there is’ (Geras, 1995: 132). There must be a ‘real’ social world that we share in order to be able to make sense of Rorty’s argument, and so, Like most people, Rorty needs some terms for the brute facticity of things, if he cannot have this coherently, then incoherently it must be.
This is why some critical psychologists sometimes play with postmodern and relativist ideas inside the discipline of psychology while using realist (and necessarily antipostmodern) ideas to contextualize what the discipline does on the outside (Parker, 1999a). Critical psychologists are trying to avoid being duped into assumptions about human beings made by psychologists, modern or postmodern. They insist that they do not know what the story is about fixed human nature, thinking or behaviour, and they do not want to be had again by any theory which lures them into thinking they should know (cf.
Psychology, like other bourgeois disciplines, however, has been adept at absorbing and neutralizing Marxist concepts. g. Seeman, 1971), so the term ‘dialectics’ is often used in psychology simply to describe the balance between the individual and the social, between inside and outside or between objectivity and subjectivity. The latest ‘postmodern’ version of this domestication of dialectics in psychology can be seen in ‘deconstruction’. Just as modern psychology succeeded in destroying what was genuinely radical about dialectics, now postmodern psychology is doing the same job for the discipline on deconstruction.
