Ah, post-modernism ... a view that is so strange that it makes it so hard to define it. A perspective that makes criticizing and de-constructing cool per se! Here is a clue how non-sense it is: you don't need a brain to write a post-mo article! A program can do it perfectly! Here are some quotes about Post-modernism:
“In
Modernism, reality used to validate media. In Postmodernism, the
media validate reality. If you don't believe this, just think how
many times you've described some real event as being 'just like a
movie.“

Postmodernism
is among other things a sick joke at the expense of revolutionary
avant-gardism.

Terry Eagleton
"The
postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated
woman and knows he cannot say to her, I love you madly, because he
knows that she knows (and that she knows that he knows) that these
words have already been written by Barbara Cartland."
--
Umberto Eco, in the postscript of "The Name of the Rose."
“Anyone
who believes that the laws of physics are mere social conventions is
invited to try transgressing those conventions from the windows of my
apartment. (I live on the twenty-first floor.)”

Alan Sokal
“The
Postmodernists' tyranny wears people down by boredom and
semi-literate prose.”

Christopher Hitchens
