Postmodernism’s point

08.21.03 | Comment?

Still following up on Rorty, the point of “postmodernism” is the rejection of the project of philosophical intellectuals, that is, the hope that discovering reality-as-it-really-is “would end, once and for all, the process of reflection on what to do with ourselves.” In religious language, it is the naming of Truth as an idol.
