#Peirce's #Pragmatism takes some pains to side-step the superficial dichotomy between #Objectivism or #Foundationalism and #Coherentism or #Consensualism.

Post-foundationalism departs from the assumption that there is no ground, necessity, or objective rationale for #human #political existence or action. The edited volume puts #contemporary debates arising from the »spatial turn« in cultural and #social #sciences in a #dialogue with post-foundational #theories of space and place to devise post-#foundationalism as radical approach to #UrbanStudies.
