The coming Glorious Revolution

>nicos mouzelis. if i had time, i'd give you a synopsis. but, basically, i got the impression that Erik was getting at the inability of postmodernist social and philosophical theory to theorize society/the social because, essentially (heh), it has given up any possibility of even conceiving of a social/society that can even be theorized.

Gotcha on that one. He also wanted to account for the specific history of the theory, but chided Yosh for dismissing it as just bad theory. I just asked if any theory that came from bourg-lefties crying over their own failures (E's theory) sounded like it could be useful (ie not bad theory). 

Pomo theory at moments is clever, incisive, interesting, but even in it's best moments doesn't offer a really plausible account that some world-historical break has taken place, world-historically speaking. Hence, . . .
