Ward Jr., Mark (2013) The Dwarfs Are for the Dwarfs: Stanley Fish, The Pragmatic Presuppositionalist. Answers Research Journal, 6: 17. pp. 265-278. ISSN 1937-9056
Literary theorist and prominent public intellectual Stanley Fish is a self-described "antifoundationalist"—someone who believes that truth is relative to one's "interpretive community." As such, he provides an as-your-own-poets-hath-said opportunity for Christian apologists. He is particularly helpful in puncturing the inflated claims of Enlightenment secularist liberalism, and along with it the scientism that underlies much public discourse in the West. Fish can be useful to theological conservatives, and creationists in particular. John Frame's approach to presuppositional apologetics, and in particular his "triperspectivalism," are helpful tools making possible a careful Christian appropriation of Fish's work.
