Postmodern YALE theologians tell us exactly what postmodernism is
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 22nd, 2018 10:18 AM Author: Learning disabled aggressive principal's office This yale religious studies professor was a fundamentalist. Then, he determined that fundamentalism is insane and the bible is not literal. https://youtu.be/oU5z4AlxJ4U?t=2692
In order to continue practicing Christianity (including saying the nicaean creed), he separates Christian logic from real world logic. He says the jesus of Christianity is not the historical jesus - they are different things. So, in order to hold two separate logics, he becomes a postmodernist - someone who thinks otherwise incompatible methods of gaining knowledge can be squared because reasons.
If we use this guy as a case study, postmodernism is a transitional paradigm as everyone is brought up to speed into modernity. It allows lazy people like this guy to reconcile incompatible ways of thinking by simply holding on to them both, because the costs of eliminating one is too high.
Therefore my prediction is modernism will continue with slight variation for many more decades as the postmodern band aide becomes less necessary.

Date: April 22nd, 2018 9:36 PM Author: Coral Casino have you read milbank et al? that's what i would call edging more towards the next stage of post-modernism. what does the logic of a world in which those two logics can make logical sense "do" to those two seperate logics in the "lesser" world in which they are incompatible. according to them it pushes our world in a more fundamentalist direction (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3956419&forum_id=2#35897028) |
