“The temper of the postmodern often proves wanting in courage and consistency. The truth of no truths becomes, inevitably, truth: a way of naming being, language, and culture that guards the boundaries of thought against claims it has not validated.
A still more radical postmodernism, though, would free itself from the illusion that thought can occupy a place of mere critical suspicion. Critique is never merely doubt, but always a vantage (and advantage); it is always already principled, already dependent upon firm metaphysical assumptions, already a transcendental surveillance that has determined in advance the limits of every story’s credibility.”
This quote is from the Intro to “The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth” by David Bentley Hart

Talking about Postmodernism will always remind me of that speech you gave using your crazy shirt as a symbol for it…. 🙂
