Postmodern Philosophy
A casual interest
In what seems a contradiction If Modern means now
Derrida Levinas Caputo Offer something reaching back Before the Enlightenment
I hope it is not selling them short
To sum up their many pages and books By saying:
Objective knowledge Is unavailable to us
Everything is interpretation
The lean then is toward the Medieval: the tabula rasa Of Aristotle via Aquinas
Whatever is received
Is received after the manner Of the recipient
Even when (and if) we pray We wander into
The Cloud of Unknowing
