The same is true of theology. I am interested in how these ideas impact our thinking & ethics. I don't want to discuss them endlessly.

You can get just as endlessly bogged down arguing abt the logical implications of Foucault's words as you can Muhammad's.

Many philosophers enjoy trying to cut through this & clarify (others enjoy obscuring it further but ignore them). I'm not a philosopher

I'm much more interested in how they boil down to ideas, principles & values that affect society. (I'm aware this is a bit Foucauldian!)

I'm not sure I buy this. I think you do care that postmodernism is illogical. It's not *just* its effect on society.
