| Postmodernism is just about a big,
complex and strange as the New Age.
I will just (for the moment) make a table of differences
| PostModern |
New Age |
| |
|
| Ironic |
Serious |
| Rejects grand narratives |
Is a grand narrative |
| self-deprecating |
self-seeking |
| grotesque and striking typography |
violet and crimson typography |
| discourse-oriented |
feeling and sensing oriented |
| self-consciousness |
group consciousness |
I have written more about postmodernism HERE,
and I think the works of Foucault are especially valuable
(though difficult) and I have written about them HERE
on my Whatever Will Be site with my general writings
It could be said that the New Age and Postmodernism have
different postures (or poises). It is interesting that they
are so similar and so different (and so negative about each
other !)
