Nietzsche:

A time will come when people abstain from constructions of historical processes.

Lyotard:

Quite right. From the very beginning science has been in conflict with the grand narratives of the modern age. When judged by their own criteria, they usually prove to be fables.

Habermas:

But your postmodernist theories throw the baby out with the bath water and see crises not as the result of failing to exhaust the potential of reason, but as a logical result of a self-destructive program of rationalization.
