From this wiki:
These post-metaphysical philosophical movements have, among other things:
1. called into question the substantive conceptions of rationality
(e.g. "a rational person thinks this") and put forward procedural or
formal conceptions instead (e.g. "a rational person thinks like this");
2. replaced foundationalism with fallibilism with regard to valid knowledge and how it may be achieved;
3.
cast doubt on the idea that reason should be conceived abstractly
beyond history and the complexities of social life, and have
contextualized or situated reason in actual historical practices;
4.
replaced a focus on individual structures of consciousness with a
concern for pragmatic structures of language and action as part of the
contextualization of reason; and
5. given up
philosophy's traditional fixation on theoretical truth and the
representational functions of language, to the extent that they also
recognize the moral and expressive functions of language as part of the
contextualization of reason.
