Post modernism versus Universality ( Philosophy )
Comment:
The idea for this post has been long in ferment. It seemed to me, going back as far as the early nineties, that there was something wrong with the liberal mindset. Since I was familar with certain texts, those texts didn't agree with what the lefties kept dishing out. Over the years, it has gotten worse.
The book I've referred to lately, "Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude" lists as one of its success principles the use of "universal law". For there to be universal law, there has to be a Universal philosophy. Or so I would assert here. For if there is no such thing as universals, what good is universal law? Perhaps the reason that this was in ferment so long as I did not pay much attention to this principle even though I read the book.
It seems that Postmodernism is at war with Universality. A look through the Wikipedia entries shows the inevitable conflict between the two. One or the other is wrong, they cannot both be right. That is, unless you are a Post modernist, and anything can be right, and anything can be wrong. Universality could not support such a notion. Hence to someone like me, a post modernist is just a friggin' liar. To me, someone who adheres to post modernism does so in order to facilitate their dishonesty. That goes with the majority of politicians, I might add.
So it is a real thing, this use of universal law. The absence of it can bring down a nation. That is the way it seems to me to be the case. As the radio commentator Michael Savage liked to say: "liberalism is a mental disorder". It certainly seems like it is a result of a disordered mind.
