You're confirming my statement: truth to post modernism doesn't exist as the term is conventionally defined. It is only one particular group's frame of reference and therefore only a device in pursuit of power struggles between groups.

From this perspective, there can be no such thing as science, as the term is conventionally understood (the pursuit of an impartial and universal truth).

Who do you think defined notions of truth? Scientists? Or were scientists philosophers interested in epistemology?

No, not being a smart ass. "Science" as we know it today is an invention. It hasn't been around forever. It is relatively new. Yes it is political. Yes it is epistemological. Yes it is ideological.

In terms of social sciences, it is far harder than we like to think.

What we choose to measure, how we choose to measure it, what we choose to ignore, diversity of contexts, etc. are political and ideological decisions.

If you would be interested in reading a rather dense and difficult text, Foucault's Discipline and Punish might be of interest.
