Philosophical Postmodernism

History

Robert Hanna et al. :

"By the early 1980s, the philosophical Great Divide between post-classical Analytic philosophy and Continental philosophy was fully in place; and Richard Rorty and others more or less systematically fused post-structuralism, deconstructionism, and what was left of Deweyan pragmatism, into philosophical post-modernism,63 aka Po-Mo, which also began to dominate in the applied and fine arts, and in Comparative Literature and Humanities Departments at colleges and universities worldwide, by vigorously rejecting and replacing modernism in all its forms, but especially high modernism. Po-Mo also gradually fused with what was left of 1970s New Left and emerging identity politics in the USA, creating, inside the American professional academy, the social-institutional powerhouse of multiculturalism by the mid-90s,64 then becoming a juggernaut by the turn of the millennium, and finally a hegemonic ideology in the Marxian sense by the end of first two decades of the 21st century."
