Postmodernism

“Vermeulen and Van Den Akker described metamodernism as a realization that history isn’t over yet. If that’s true, then there’s still hope for change—which is why the next generation has a zeal for solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems.” - Christianity Today

“This shift has landed us in what can be called ‘standpoint epistemology.’ … the view that everything we think and know, and even what we consider knowledge to be, is determined solely by our race, ’gender,’ sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and other identity categories.” - Breakpoint

“Once a year, rootless moderns find an anchor in the past” - World

Berkeley and Rexroth “draw on the work of Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay, Cynical Theories (paid link), who contrast ‘social justice,’ the concern for justice in society, with capital-letter ‘Social Justice,’ which is a particular ideological theory that they describe as ‘applied post-modernism.’” - Veith

“While mathematics and other hard sciences were somewhat safe in the postmodernist world, the new post-truth culture has laid waste to them along with everything else.” - Robin Schumacher

“Functionally, truth by consensus has stepped up to fill the void left when we, in annoyance, bade objective truth to find quarters somewhere else. How did we get here? To orient ourselves in the current climate of moral reasoning, we need a quick refresher on philosophical developments, starting with the Enlightenment.” - Ref21

“[M]any postmoderns who promote a purist school of deconstructionism are fed their just desserts when their own paradigms are deconstructed. American university students have perceptibly recognized the inherent tension within a school of thought built on cynicism and suspicion.” - American Conservative

“Since its initial publication seventy-five years ago, The Abolition of Man has served as one of the finest non-reactionary bulwarks against the faddish ideologies and various subjectivisms and other nihilistic nonsense of the political and cultural Left.” - Intellectual Takeout
