Abstract
June/July 2002 • American Psychologist tal outlook known as the Enlightenment (cf. Shimony, 1997). Gergen’s case for embracing a postmodern psychology specifically challenges the Enlightenment notions of science and reason as they are used in modern psychology. I find these challenges unconvincing and have briefly indicated why I think this is so with respect to the important ideas of truth and method. I believe psychologists are justified in defending the historical tradition of Enlightenment thinking and should be encouraged to enrich it with the hard-won products of modern psychological research.
