There are an inordinate number of people in sociology that undermine truth as a concept to reduce the possibility of ever being incorrect about anything. This is obviously completely anti-scientific. Almost miraculously, many of these people hold extremely specific viewpoints that inherently amount to truth claims. I'm all for "food for thought" research in complex fields where truth claims are tenuous at best - but what I'm referring to isn't that. It's rhetorical strategy to make implicit truth claims then fend off criticism by undermining the concept of truth itself.
