first off i want to mention how much i enjoy all of your posts. i am
new to the board and am glad i found it.
also, if i have repeated a question that has been answered before,
forgive me.
but my question is about post-modernism. i have read some wilber and
the pirsig books and have come to the idea that post modernism does not
"reject" anything. it may appear that way from the modernist model
(see wilber's discussion of this in "a brief history of everything"
when he talks about egocentrism vs ethnocentrism vs worldcentrism) but
in actuality, post modernism embraces and transcends (the wilber battle
cry) what has come before. the post modernist "despair" is actually a
result of a modernist still stuck in the "old" way of thinking, i.e.,
in "transition"...
my question is, are we, in the twilight of modernism, at all able to
"flip" over into a post modernist mindset...or is that still a way off
yet? i happen to find post modernism very inspiring...i am a musician
and have found post modernism to be instrumental (no pun intended) in
understanding the role of music in our "new" lives.
