AB The postmodernist educational approach: a philosophical discussion Several Christian philosophers and educationists have in recent years sounded warnings about the dangers inherent in postmodernist thinking about education. This investigation was launched to investigate whether postmodernists not only succeeded in attacking the modern pedagogical project of Enlightenment thinking but also the pedagogical project per se. It was found that Postmodernism succeeded in unmasking the tendency of Rationalism to absolutise the ontic structure of education as well as in deconstructing the rationalistic tendency to construct grand narratives and value systems, but that it failed to destroy the pedagogical project as such. Several postmodernist tenets are critiqued and discussed.
