      Not sure if it's down to the way people are explaining it, or because I just lack interest, but I don't get/care about postmodernism.

      I'm going to do my own research into the topic as I'm not finding myself really "getting it" fully. I feel like I need to, but..eh.

      Managed to make do so far without understanding it, and it doesn't interest me a great deal, but I'm curious now I've seen a few videos.

      Avoid right-wing accounts which try to make it a simple expansion of Marxism.

      I never go by one person's view on a topic, especially one so complex. Clearly it's going to require time and research.

      Yep. Very Short Introduction is a good neutral starting point which cites many other sources.

      Do you have a link for this? Would be interested in reading or listening, depending on format.

      To look at the problems philosophically - David Detmer -Challenging Postmodernism. Scientifically - Sokal & Bricmont - Fashionable Nonsense.

          I've been reading stephen hicks Explaining Postmodernism. Seems decent so far, detailed history, but would like some different sources.

          Another one I've really enjoyed, though it is more general philosophy of science, is Peter godfrey-smith's Theory and Relativity.

          It's pretty short, so if you can borrow it from a friend, definitely give it a read!
