Areo will soon be publishing a well-written and well-argued defence of postmodernism. I encourage you all to read it because it puts forward the best case for it, makes the most common defences that you're likely to hear and also some original & thought-provoking ones.

It can be difficult to argue with defenders of postmodernism because they begin with assumptions that reason and evidence are suspicious and also, too often, try to 'win' by messing around with the meaning of words (because they're postmodernists).

In a recent 'debate' with one, he redefined 'postmodernism' as 'thinking' and mounted a defence of why thinking is good and why being critical of thinking is bad.

Therefore, it is wonderful when an honest person who understands postmodernism wants to argue about its worth in a straightforward way making reasoned arguments. I am quite excited about it although, ultimately, I think he is wrong. I can concede some points tho.
