Ok, some of your lumping I'm not getting (or, rather, I don't agree with).
I can understand how you, say, lump me and Rorty in postmodernism. I
haven't exactly shirked that lumping. However, I don't understand what
anit-rational or anti-logical refers to. I understand what some of the
things that anti-Aristotelian refers to and I rejoice in it, particularly
being against Aristotelian essentialism. As for "vocabulary" subsituting
for reason, correspondence and economy, I'm not quite sure what you mean,
besides the fact that reason and economy of explanation don't need to be
replaced. You're right about correspondence, of course.
I was hoping you could explicate what you mean a little (so I can respond
to your charges a little better ;-).
