Özet

Tracing postmodernism from its roots in Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant to their development in thinkers such as Michel Foucault and Richard Rorty, philosopher Stephen Hicks provides a provocative account of why postmodernism has been the most vigorous intellectual movement of the late 20th century.

Why do skeptical and relativistic arguments have such power in the contemporary intellectual world? Why do they have that power in the humanities but not in the sciences? Why has a significant portion of the political left - the same left that traditionally promoted reason, science, equality for all, and optimism - now switched to themes of anti-reason, anti-science, double standards, and cynicism?

Explaining Postmodernism is intellectual history with a polemical twist, providing fresh insights into the debates underlying the furor over political correctness, multiculturalism, and the future of liberal democracy.

This expanded edition includes two additional essays by Stephen Hicks: "Free Speech and Postmodernism" and "From Modern to Postmodern Art: Why Art Became Ugly".

Everyone who likes postmodernism should read or listen to this book, but it does not explain postmodernism. A more accurate title would have been: Explaining the Historical Foundation of Postmodernism from an American Right-Wing Perspective.

this is an interesting insight into the phenomenon of post modernism. the author puts forward a lucid and powerful argument against its pernicious ramifications and the 'real world' implications of it's implementation through woke ideology.

interesting and relevant

This book has exceeded my expectations. It explains the fruits of postmodernism by painting a picture of a tree starting from the roots and ending at the youngest branches. it's exciting to see how something we can relate to today is linked to enlightenment thinkers like Rousseau and Kant. Although the author describes them as revolutionist rather than enlightenment thinkers. I recommend it to anyone interested in understanding the current cultural climate.

Fantastic Exposition, makes one think
