HIST 578 AFTER P0STMODERNISM Credits 4.00 Spring 2000
Why has postmodernism failed--run aground, as it were, on its own
superficiality? What are the new, 'positive" intellectual paradigms that
have emerged in its wake? After surveying the reasons postmodernism
proved unable to respond to the posttotalitarian caesura of 1989, we
will examine the renewal of democratic thought. Among the thinkers we
will examine will be Richard Rorty, Jurgen Habermas, Charles Taylor and
Jean Elshtain.
