	Introduction to Postmodern Philosophy
		So, although his philosophy allowed the modernist era to continue by preserving a belief in objective truth, it also raised the crucial question that ultimately led to the rise of postmodernism.
		Postmodernism was correct in critiquing modernism and concluding that the correspondence theory of truth is limited.
		Postmodernism tells us that we cannot study the Bible objectively and that our preaching will never be more than our own subjective interpretation of the text.

	Postmodern philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postmodern philosophy is an eclectic and elusive movement characterized by its criticism of Western philosophy.
		Postmodern philosophy claims to be especially skeptical about simple binary oppositions that allegedly dominate Western metaphysics and humanism, such as the expectation that the philosopher may cleanly isolate knowledge from ignorance, social progress from reversion, dominance from submission, or presence from absence.
		Postmodern philosophy originated primarily in France during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

	Jean-François Lyotard [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Whereas in the libidinal philosophy the focus was to see that a single interpretation of an event did not become hegemonic, in Lyotard's later philosophy he is primarily concerned with the problems of justice that arise between competing interpretations of events.
		Furthermore, postmodern science is undermining legitimation by performativity by retheorizing the way science itself develops: science does not develop in a progressive fashion and towards a unified knowledge, but in a discontinuous and paradoxical manner, undermining previous paradigms by the development of new ones.
		This rejection is manifested in the philosophy of paganism that preceded Lyotard's postmodernism.

	Postmodernism - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		In the era of postmodern culture, people have rejected the grand, supposedly universal stories and paradigms such as religion, conventional philosophy, capitalism and gender that have defined culture and behavior in the past, and have instead begun to organize their cultural life around a variety of more local and subcultural ideologies, myths and stories.
		Postmodern style is often characterized by eclecticism, digression, collage, pastiche, irony, the return of ornament and historical reference, and the appropriation of popular media.
		Postmodern philosophy is a radical criticism of Western philosophy, because it rejects the universalizing tendencies of philosophy.

	Chicago
		Postmodern thinking in philosophy has exposed doubts over the hegemony of one only vision of the human being (according to which his paradigmatic activity is precisely that of knowing).
		Philosophy is confronted by a more dramatic crossroads than the other humanistic disciplines since it was precisely philosophy that once was the "queen of the sciences" and the ground of all the other disciplines.
		Postmodern philosophy seems to be perfectly aware of the dangers outlined above because it draws an extreme lesson from the modern odyssey of culture, in which a leading role was played precisely by philosophy.

	Postmodernism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Postmodernism is an idea that has been extremely controversial and difficult to define among scholars, intellectuals, and historians, because the term implies to many that the modern historical period has passed.
		Postmodernism's adherents often argue that their ideals have arisen as the result of particular economic and social conditions, including what is described as "late capitalism" and the growth of broadcast media, and that such conditions have pushed society into a new historical period.
		The criticisms of postmodernism are often complicated by the still fluid nature of the term, and in many cases the criticisms are clearly directed at poststructuralism and the philosophical and academic movements that it has spawned rather than the broader term postmodernism.

	Continental and Postmodern Philosophy of Science: Preface
		Thus the postmodern condition is understood as a project proposed for reflection (or "thought") concerning just where it is that contemporary thinkers find themselves, to use Toulmin's words, with respect to "practical philosophy, multidisciplinary sciences, and transnational or subnational institutions." As such a reflective orientation, the postmodern prospect is inherently, perhaps necessarily ambivalent.
		In asking about the prospect of a postmodern philosophy of science, these essays seek to explore the extent to which a critical (philosophical) perspective not originating in the sciences but rather in the cultural spheres of art and the humanities can be meaningfully applied to the theoretical and practical sciences.
		The first section, Postmodern Continental: Propædeutic and Parody, explores the relationship between postmodernism and the philosophy of science together with a provocative or polemical critique of analytic styles in philosophy to outline some of the disputed issues between postmodern, continental and modern, analytic philosophies of science.

	Rhetoric and the Postmodern (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The main difficulty in examining the relationship between postmodernity and the concept of rhetoric lies in determining the extent to which a postmodern thinking of rhetoric can be distinguished from the antimodernist current that characterizes rhetorical theory throughout the modern age.
		At the core of Vattimo's own understanding of postmodernity is his belief that twentieth-century culture is characterized by an "experience of Ôthe end of history,'" that is, a lived sense that the future no longer holds anything genuinely new.
		Thus, postmodern philosophy is, for Vattimo, an ontological philosophy of the event.

	Postmodern Philosophy and Law
		Litowitz shows that postmodernism is so far removed from the language games in which lawyers and judges decide key legal issues that it leaves the internal practice of law untouched, and its radical rejection of foundations precludes a position from which a just legal system might be built.
		Still, postmodernism can make a significant contribution to legal theory by showing the limits of existing arrangements, focusing attention on genealogy and discourse, and empowering those who have been denied a voice under the legal system.
		Postmodern Philosophy and Law bridges the gap between Anglo-American jurisprudence and postmodern theory by discussing not only traditional approaches such as natural law theory and legal positivism but also continental philosophy and critical legal studies.

	Postmodernism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		In “What is Postmodernism?,” which appears as an appendix to the English edition of The Postmodern Condition, Lyotard addresses the importance of avant-garde art in terms of the aesthetic of the sublime.
		In postmodernism, hyperreality is the result of the technological mediation of experience, where what passes for reality is a network of images and signs without an external referent, such that what is represented is representation itself.
		Vattimo's philosophy is therefore the project of a postmodern hermeneutics, in contrast to the Parisian thinkers who do not concern themselves with meaning or history as continuous unities.

	PHILOSOPHY : Towards a multi- & meta-cultural Postmodern Philosophy
		Eco rightly claims postmodernism to be the avant-garde of the modernism of the 21th century, while others say that by depending too much upon a subjectivist and non-social conception of rationality, it moves towards irrationalism (Habermas, 1985).
		Modern critical philosophy is anti-ontological for the purpose of logic, theory of knowledge, linguistics and/or philosophy of language.
		Postmodern thought is unsettling in the isthmus between the philosophy of appearance (of "phusis") and that of the eveningland (of the hiddenness of the nocturnal, of mystery, of death, of ghosts, of the wide expanses of the multiverse).

	Orthos Logos, Recta Ratio: Pope John Paul II, Nihilism, and Postmodern Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It is the nihilist interpretation that acts as "the common framework of many philosophies that have rejected the meaningfulness of being." Pope John Paul II reserves his greatest criticism for this nihilist interpretation because it denies all foundation, negates all objective truth, and thereby denies humanity and the identity of human beings.
		Accounts of so-called postmodern philosophy that attribute its source and power of inspiration to Nietzsche typically begin with Nietzsche’s revelation that "God is dead." Often on the basis of a rudimentary understanding of this remark, commentators falsely attribute a nihilism to Nietzsche (and to postmodern philosophy), as though Nietzsche was advocating nihilism as a philosophy.
		Merold Westphal suggests that the key themes of postmodern philosophy that have the most direct bearing on theology are "Heidegger’s ‘destruction’ of the history of ontology and Derrida’s ‘deconstruction’ of the metaphysics of presence" (583).

	TOTUM \| Game and Deconstruction in Postmodern Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Today it is not a secret for anyone that the basic ideas of postmodern philosophy and culture gain increasing recognition in the consciousness of the modern society.
		The main role in the process of formation of postmodern philosophy belongs to the ideas of prominent French poststructuralists Baudrillard, Lacan, Foucault, Deleuze, R. Barthes, Liotard, Derrida etc. The sources of their ideas are relativistic and nihilistic doctrines which have long been known since Antiquity (sophists, skeptics, cynics, eclectics) up to nowadays.
		Forms of philosophical knowledge which aspire to universalism are unacceptable for representatives of postmodern philosophy, as it is considered as demonstration of "imperialism" and "totalitarianism" in science.

	Philosophy
		Idealist philosophy believes that the mind exists, and that our sense of the external world (physical reality) is simply a construction of the mind.
		Postmodern philosophy assumes that there is a physical reality but it is impossible for us to know it with our limited minds.
		The central problem of postmodern Philosophy is to connect our incomplete senses of the world with the real world of what exists (Kant's thing in itself).

	Postmodern Therapy - A guide to Postmodern Therapy
		Postmodern psychotherapists believe that it is difficult at best, and often impossible, for a mental health "expert" to be able to determine what is "psychologically healthy," since there is no truly objective measurement of mental health.
		As in postmodern philosophy, art, architecture, and music, "deconstruction" is a dominant theme in postmodern psychotherapy.
		In postmodern Dynamic Neurocognitive psychotherapy, a unique kind of a dialogue or a conversation between the therapist and the patient emerges, whereby spoken language, ranging from simple words and instructions to intensely personal, infinitely complex narratives and dialogues, becomes the main medium of change.
