      Yes!This what I have been trying to say.Postmodernism is not just an obscure academic theory. Its a way of thinking that's permeated societyhttps://twitter.com/kenanmalik/status/828244809148137474 …

      It can be hard to see the wood for the trees when it's everywhere.Even ppl who reject or know nothing abt postmodernism have internalised it

      And even if you see a problem, can be hard to articular it or see its reach & all the different forms it takes. Two books can really help.

          And this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/FASHIONABLE-NONSENSE-POSTMODERN-INTELLECTUALS-SCIENCE/dp/0312195451/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486308407&sr=8-1&keywords=sokal+and+bricmont … Both are accessible and engaging and strive for balance and avoidance of political agendas.

          Very interesting. If the author is saying left & right are about equally guilty of relativism I have to disagree.

          I don't think that's the point. They do it differently. Have different narratives

          Good comment. Thanks. It's thought provoking. I don't want to slip into the easy trap of saying my side is good & others bad.

          Postmodernism has infiltrated society making personal truths far more acceptable. Right & left select differently

          I hold to ideals in our Declaration of Independence & Bill of Rights. That's firm ground for me & I think others on the right.

          That's not a truth claim. Those documents actually exist. You think they're valuable. Others don't. This is reality.
