I said what I didn't want to say so completely disregard the first sentence of my last post. My point is that logic is the best we have. Though it may not achieve unity and totality,
it still achieves more than anything else we have. My problem with post-modernism is that it says logic is not reliable, but what does it offer you in return? It offers nothing in return. Instead, post-modernists would rather float through existence using their even more unreliable feelings. Post-modernism is not an intellectual movement. Post-modernism is a stupid teenage rebellion.
