It's not hate duckie, it's something between being contemptuous of your pretentions, despising your attempts to pass off ignorance as some kind of understanding and there's a little pity for you as are so inadequate that you feel the need to behave in that manner. I am not normally this direct but I have to bear in mind the scurrilous and utterly false abuse you threw at me not too long ago.
If I had been caught flagrantly BULLSHITTING and INTELLECTUAL WANKING or generally acting like a loudmouthed pretentious ignorant poseur in the manner you have been, I would be too mortified to ever show my face here again. I wouldn't know how to ask any one to believe anything I had to say. Nor would I expect them to believe anything I said if I had been shown to be like you.
Perhaps that's one difference between us. One of us has integrity and it isn't you.
ETA: Any further communication with you is waste of my time and won't be entered into.
I really do appreciate you not entering your hate into debates. Thank you.
Especially if this is what you offer:
You said:
Haven't you grasped the fact that he is claiming that post modernism was implemented in a big way in the US a whole decade before any of the leading lights of post modernism were published ie a decade before post-modernism was conceived of (or 'invented') in Europe?
You said:
Most scholars and post modernist thinkers trace the lineage of post modernism back to Nietzsche, and to a far lesser extent Spinoza.
Which of your quotes above do you prefer?
You said:
I have never heard of any one reputable or otherwise ever suggest that post modernism is a "culmination of the Enlightenment".
I posted this paper. Here's the title:
The Enlightenment Gone Mad (I) The Dismal Discourse of Postmodernism’s Grand Narratives
I said:
Postmodernism is, to me, a culmination of the Enlightenment.
Which of these above is closer to the title of the paper posted?
Peon said as a description of postmodernism:
My understanding is that it's a movement that tries to achieve a thoroughgoing deconstruction of all modes of thought characteristic of modernity, especially high modernity....The vast bulk of thinkers, of all hues, will only deconstruct in order to later construct...
I responded to Peon:
Actually, the, "the vast bulk of thinkers, of all hues, will only deconstruct in order to later construct, is, per my latest reading, been happening a lot to postmodernism.
The paper I posted said:
the late Paul de Man claimed the Homeric epic as a self-referential postmodern text! Such retroactive designation, combined with the widespread indiscriminate use of the postmodern category, threatens to render it altogether vacuous.
An example of the deconstruction being discussed by Peon and I.
Oh and teak, how can Paul Man claim a Homeric epic is a self-referential postmodern text in light of your first statement above? I guess you need to toss Paul Mann under the same bus with me....or, is there something you're not understanding here? Hum?
You said:
The rest of your post is inane waffle, pure drivel that says nothing
I'm posting this since its dawned on me that you think you made points.
i think you had a tantrum in which you contradicted yourself. But since this is a debate, people can contribute what they think.
