At the root of the epistemological implications of modernity and post modernity is the question of the nature of reality. In modernity the presumption is that reality is external, fully defined, and subject to discovery through science. In the emerging epistemology of post modernism, science itself creates reality in the course of its practice. In order to assess the relative impact of these two positions on scientific scholarship within the social and behavioral sciences, their respective epistemologies are explored. It is suggested that while the practice of the natural sciences may be little affected by post modernism, the social sciences in general, and most especially psychology, may be deeply changed by the new epistemology.
