People of legislation and people of interpretation

The people of legislation and the people of interpretation by Zygmunt Bauman ... Modern strategy for intellectual work approaches the strategy of the people of legislation, which is represented in establishing propositions and rules that ensure reaching the truth, correct moral judgment, and sound artistic taste. And this strategy was in historical circumstances that witnessed an intellectual struggle to establish the best social system and the foundations of education, culture, and production. As for the postmodern strategy, it is closer to the strategy of the people of interpretation, which is represented in translating propositions of a local societal tradition, so that they can be understood within a knowledge system based on another tradition, without favoring among the existing traditions, after thinkers have become mere intermediaries in communication between groups and their traditions. This strategy prevails in circumstances characterized by pluralism, relativism, and consumerism.
