The One and Only... is probably a spambot
Old Jan 19th, 2004, 12:33 PM        The Seven Self-Contradictions of Postmodernism
1. Postmodernism espouses anti-theory which is essentially a theoretical stand.
2. Postmodernism stresses the irrational, yet instruments of reason are freely employed within the perspective.
3. Postmodern prescription to focus on the marginal is a evaluative emphasis.
4. Postmodernist stress intertextuality but often treat text in isolation.
5. By rejecting modern criteria for assessing theory, Postmodernist cannot argue that there are no valid criteria for judging.
6. Postmodernist criticize the inconsistency of modernism, but refuse to be held in consistency norms themselves.
7. Postmodernist contradict themselves by relinquishing truth claims in their own writing.

Thank you, Rosenau.
