Uncorrected Insight: Metaphor and Transcendence "After Truth" in Qualitative Inquiry

Timothy McGettigan

Wake Forest University

In this article, the author discusses an account of an epiphany or a process of boundary-breaking enlightenment in his research on a Green Tortoise adventure travel tour—the manner in which a form of transcendence "after truth" can exist in qualitative inquiry via the medium of metaphor. Despite the pessimism that can result from an engagement with the "Too Big," the author argues that there is sufficient cause for critical postmodernists to remain optimistic in their efforts to develop a coherent, value-oriented, transformational model of social inquiry.
