Philosophics — Philosophical and Political RamblingsPostmodern LabyrinthIn this segment, I use the Classic myth of the Labyrinth as a device to explore the rift between Modern and Postmodern philosophical perspectives. Postmodernism aptly critiques Modernism, but Moderns don't like it. To ignore the critique is to put your head in the sand. Hearing it creates a cognitive dissonance that needs to be assuaged. Join me as I share my perspective.
This podcast is a production based on blog posts shared at Philosophics blog, most notably the post named Postmodern Labyrinth.
