    <<Me neither. This is one my doubts about the postmodernist's
    foundational stance against the existence of ultimate Truth. >>

    Hey folks, I am new here. I am a social theorist with The Billions of
    Minds Project, also soon to be a writer with yellowtimes.org's PINR
    section, and a musician with music group Wanderjahr (see:
    www.wanderjahrmusic.com ). I read Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motor
    Cycle Maintenance after finding it in a pile of books that someone threw
    in the trash about 10 years ago.

    I thought that the above comment was interesting. I consider some the
    things that I do to be "postmodern" by definition. Yet, I cannot see how
    a postmodernist could proclaim "there is no ultimate truth", because
    that proclamation, if true, would be the ultimate truth, now, wouldn't
    it!?!?
