Postmodernism: History and Diagnosis.... (Jordan B. Peterson & Stephen Hicks)


Jordan B Peterson | Ajoutée le 18 août 2017

"On August 17, I (Jordan B. Peterson) spoke with Dr. Stephen Hicks, professor in the philosophy department at Rockford University. Dr. Hicks is the author of the influential and courageous 2004 book Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault, which is perhaps even more relevant and important now than it was when it was published. 

"We spoke in depth about the history of philosophy as it has developed since medieval times, trying to understand and describe the processes that led to the rise of postmodern theory.

"The book itself can be purchased here at Amazon. Dr. Hicks has also made it available in pdf form HERE. A useful review/overview, written by Dr. Steven Sanders, can be found HERE. An audiobook also exists, and can be found HERE.

"Why is this all relevant? Because our culture finds itself currently embroiled in a war of ideas, and those ideas must be understood.

J. Glenn Friesen:

Totality
"Because Dooyeweerd’s philosophy begins with the idea of a supratemporal totality, he then needs to show how individual things and events are individuated from out of that totality."

Dooyeweerd’s Idea of Modalities: The Pivotal 1922 Article
(PDF 33 pages)
"[Dooyeweerd] dismantles Kant's logical categories and instead puts forward the idea of intuited modalities. And Dooyeweerd uses the scholastic idea of ‘meaning-moments' to individuate these modalities from totality."
