So on pg 25 of Origins, Anderson describes Lyotard's take on postmodernity and how it results in undermining science as equal to "other forms of knowledge to which it had pretended [superiority] in modern times." I read this statement and am worried because Anderson seems to make an interesting word choice with his usage of 'pretend'. It seems that Anderson supports the notion of science's equality with all forms of knowledge, especially when he goes on to say that the basis of science rests on "two forms of grand narrative itself" (25).
