Twilight of Post-Modernism

Swedish social sciences zine Axess just published a thematic issue about the twilight of post-modernism and the lingering pockets of anything-goes relativism that it's leaving behind. Essays by Johan Lundberg, Ophelia Benson & Jeremy Stangroom, Richard Wolin and Christofer Edling. Currently only in Swedish, but English translations will be on-line shortly.

On the Swedish scale, Axess is a moderate conservative mag. On the US scale, it's somewhere just left of Bill Clinton.

Post-modernism....
....i think it's something some people have in their genes. They have a different structure of thinking and are more inclined to use these...

What i lack in their texts, though, is proof, arguing, exemplifying and reference.
All i've read so far is zillions of statements.

I wish I could just see pomos as historically contingent social constructions. Unfortunately, being a rationalist, I have to accept that they do in fact exist.

But happily, pomos are able to see themselves as historically contingent social constructions, which turn out not to exist whenever rationalists point them out.

I am very offended by their disrespect for my individually constructed point of view where they do in fact exist all the time. Fascists! Micro-fascists!
