by Summary:
Keith Windschuttle is the author of the fascinating book The Killing of History: How a Discipline is being murdered by Literary Critics and Social Theorists (1994) and an insightful critique of Foucault’s history (Windschuttle 1998). I don’t agree with everything here (e.g., the introductory remarks on British imperialism), but nevertheless there are some very good points.[embedded content]Also, before people spew forth ad hominem fallacies, I’ll well aware that this gentleman is a conservative. That he is a conservative, however, does not refute many of his arguments against Postmodernism here.The real scandal here is that we do not have vast numbers of people on the left calling out Postmodernism for the nonsense it is.BIBLIOGRAPHY Windschuttle, Keith. 1994.
