        There's a history of identity politics outside the academy, as well, having origins in US fundamentalist culture.

        You mention it, but the impact of Van Til, Bahnsen, Rushdoony, and Gary North is important to this on the American right.

        Much has already been written on presuppositionalism and reason, albeit mostly by theologians. 1/2

        The American right has been a major influence on conservatives in the West, so its contribution should also be noted.

        OK but not necessarily in much detail by me in an essay abt the origins, key values and impact of postmodernism.

        As an academic phenomenon, I agree. But a move to its cultural manifestations should include all influences, not just the left.

        You're too exercised about science, Helen. When did we eradicate smallpox? C. 1970. When was heyday of Derrida/Barthes? You see?

        1st 1/2 = 🆒 Slight quibble: I think Derrida said différance, w/ "A." Supposedly a big deal, jouissance, free play, bla bla bla.

        the irony is that post modernism has had far less impact in France than in any other Western country....

        True! This stuff got much more politicized in the US. We kinda suck that way.

        This doesn't surprise me at all. Especially b/c political outrage has replaced critical reading. Enough to comb >

        Of course! Baudrillard & the whole idea that coherence is tantamount to coercion/imprisonment, etc.

        ...that is, derived from the counter-Enlightenment... and in this way opened a boulevard for the alt-right.
