"
How French ”Intellectuals” ruined the West: Postmodernism and its impact, explained" by Helen Pluckrose
В частности:
Про Фуко: он описывает "
structures of power in which shared humanity and individuality are almost entirely absent" - что можно считать тотальным успехом Фуко - критика через категории, которые стали предметом ревизии у Фуко говорит только о недостатке ума или культуры дискуссии.
Постмодернизм описывает через категории языка: 1 - "
intense sensitivity to language on the level of the word and a feeling that what the speaker means is less important than how it is received, no matter how radical the interpretation"; 2 - "
Shared humanity and individuality are essentially illusions and people are propagators or victims of discourses depending on their social position; a position which is dependent on identity far more than their individual engagement with society".
И заявляет о позиции победившего либерализма (тоже проект постмодернизма), что кажется обосновано: "
we are at a unique point in history where the status quo is fairly consistently liberal". И в общем верно диагностирует проблемы современной мысли: "
Whilst the first postmodernists mostly challenged discourse with discourse, the activists motivated by their ideas are becoming more authoritarian and following those ideas to their logical conclusion. Freedom of speech is under threat because speech is now dangerous. So dangerous that people considering themselves liberal can now justify responding to it with violence. The need to argue a case persuasively using reasoned argument is now often replaced with references to identity and pure rage". AP: It thus appear that the discourse is not sufficient, oral debate are weak. The debate is between the ways of life - you should act to persuade. Very much nitzschean model. Citation from a certain Christopher Butler “
Postmodernist thought sees the culture as containing a number of perpetually competing stories, whose effectiveness depends not so much on an appeal to an independent standard of judgement, as upon their appeal to the communities in which they circulate.”
Unfortunately - this debate of the ways of life goes as debate of feelings, impressions and corerectly - "
It is much easier to say what you feel than rigorously examine the evidence." And this is very much reactionary: "
the far-Right is now using identity politics and epistemic relativism in a very similar way to the postmodern-Left. Of course, elements of the far-Right have always been divisive on the grounds of race, gender and sexuality and prone to irrational and anti-science views but postmodernism has produced a culture more widely receptive to this."
Последующий срач в комментариях - похож на поведение автомобилистов на дорогах - агрессия за стеклом - в отсутствие личного взаимодействия агрессия возрастает в разы. А еще это сравнивают с огнем в интернет-играх - который не сжигает, но производит настоящие эмоции. Все эти интерент-люди - геймеры.
