OF THE NEW, NEWER, NEWEST, TRUE-UNTIL-FAUX THING,
ALSO KNOWN AS POSTMODERNISM.
IT IS BEST TO THINK OF HUMEAN ENLIGHTENMENT SKEPTICISM AS A BASTARD PHILOSOPHICAL DESCENDANT OF REFORMATION ANTI CLERICALISM, NOT JUST THE ANTI POPISM OF EARLY PROTESTANTS BUT ALSO THE MORPHED PROGRESSED, SKEPTICAL INTRAMURAL ANTI CLARICALISM OF RADICAL ANTI ANGLICAN SEPARATIST PURITANS AND OTHERS.
WHY NOT JUST CALL POSTMODERNISM, OF ANY KIND OR STRIPE
ROGUE SPLINTERED FUNDAMENTALISM!
ONE COULD ALSO SAY WITH EQUAL CLARITY
POSTMODERN, OR POSTPOSTMODERN, ROGUE SCHISMATICS.
THE QUINTESSENTIAL POSTMODERN INTELLECTUAL DISCIPLINE SHOULD ACTUALLY BE CALLED SCHISMATICS, OR PERHAPS EVEN BETTER,
META SCHISMATICS,
RATHER THAN SOMETHING EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS THAN WHIG METAHISTORY, LIKE HERMENEUTICS, OR DECONSTRUCTIONISM.
