Lyotard disputes the notion that justice...still has a place in post-modernism...When people stop believing, the system collapses, unable to move forward, unable to reproduce or replicate- the end of the transmission."<br /><br />I hate to say it, but the whole postmodern-->80's/90s art and its tongue-in-cheek, ironic, pastiche aesthetic feel soooooo dated to me. It seems to me that this postmodern thing, while it has its postives, such as, say, recognition of the margins (including the marginalized), and away from macho/essentialist grand narrative type ideals, is fading. People are sick of being jaded all the time. Or else they're complete nihilists.

IMO, most of those who choose to see reality as devoid of meaning & meta-narrative structure, are either hardly looking for it, have severe myopia, or legitimately don't know where to begin. I recommend http://is.gd/78fKg<br /><br />Extreme philosophical viewpoints are rarely well-considered and usually their champions are just too intoxicated and proud of their own extremity to consider more mature perspectives. If you'd be interested in hearing a voice that's neither shouting out from the laboratory of metaphysical realism, nor the ivory tower of relativism/social constructivism, you might give Giere a try: http://is.gd/78o6o<br />I have chapter 1 in pdf, which I'd be happy to share.Kjell Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349849566267985123noreply@blogger.com
