Description
This essay discusses how postmodern philosophy can be used to help develop civilized values. It argues that postmodern philosophy can be used to help develop a better understanding of knowledge, personal identity, and civilization.
Formulating an approach to philosophy which, instead of simply rejecting postmodern thought, tries to assimilate some of its main features, Paul Crowther identifies conceptual links between value, knowledge, personal identity and civilization understood as a process of cumulative advance.
