What is postmodernism, what is its history and why does it matter? This blog should answer most of these questions and explain what is the antidote to this particularly destructive school of thought. Check the Background section at the bottom of this page and the tab pages underneath the banner for more research and analyses.
UPDATE: Three intrepid academics perpetrated a giant version of the Sokal Hoax once again revealing the utter nonsense of Postmodern "science" (Wiki). They published a number of fake papers in major academic journals. The result is hilarious and delightful. Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay and Peter Boghossian set out to show that ideology reigns supreme in what they call "Grievance Studies": academic areas organized around victim groups,and often more motivated by a political agenda than a serious search for the truth.
If you have doubts about this enterpris - which makes sense since these fields of study do investigate very important topics, like race and gende- take a look at the papers they got published in leading journals. They are… quite something.— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) October 3, 2018
