Post-Relativism: From Truth to Reliability to Orientation Architecture

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: : Post-relativism is proposed as a distinct epistemic position for conditions of structural uncertainty. It preserves the existence of truth while rejecting truth-as-finality. Truth functions as a temporary, responsibility-bound stabilization within an open process of orientation. The paper develops a shift from truth to reliability to orientation architecture, arguing that epistemic responsibility becomes the governing constraint for knowledge claims in complex socio-technical systems.
