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.

That's the one I haven't read and everyone else has! I'm taking it on holiday with me.

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!
