Postmodernism and Romanticism

What is Romanicism? It is quite simply the denial of the superiority of Reason. I am a NeoKantian postmodernist. That makes me by definition, a Romantic. I believe that there are defining conceptual arguments contained in the brain at birth. Kant called these arguments, forms. These forms define our existence. To my mind, there are definitely three of these: God, game, and language. All of these preexist experience. I would entertain the notion that Love is a form but I'm not certain of it. The key to a form is that one cannot 'know' it. Therefore, if I am correct, one cannot know God, but one still must behave to His standards. That's difficult. Perhaps occult phenomena are simply a manifestation of God and a confirmation that one's brain is wired correctly. I would also entertain that notion. Be well and do good.

Pragmatism and Postmodernism

Americans are pragmatic, not as devout practitioners of a philosophy, but rather as an aspect of a national personality. We do not love idea for the sake of idea. We love idea for the sake of utility. Plato might have written, 'The Republic'. We created one. We are pragmatists. Pragmatism does not hold dogmatic Truths, only tentative truth. What is is what works. It is a perfect fit for postmodernism. It is a fit so perfect that cultural postmodernism could be said to be an occult codification of pragmatism. There are many manifestations of postmodernism, philosophical, cultural, economic, and political. They differ from each other and internally are not the same for all people. There is no large Truth to them. We all have our personal myths, our truths, that drive our psychological spaces and so our behavior. Do occult phenomena exist? Postmodernism answers, if they do for you. Pragmatism answers, if they do for you and your behavior is successful for you. We cannot ask more of a philosophy than personal success. Be well and do good.
