This was the book that got me interested in writing my senior sem. It looks at how postmodern thinking has influenced our society. To be honest it is crazy. For instance in the medical field, postmodern thought has cast doubt on proven treatments and states that they are no better than alternative ones.
The author sights an example of a woman with stomach pain who calls a doctor and the nurse tells her that it is emotional and that she should get in touch with herself and figure out why she is stressed. She calls another doctor and they do a emergency removal of a growth that was about to burst in her ovary. If it had done so she would have died.
all this is because it is wrong to say this is right and that is wrong due to postmodernism. That is sooooo stupid. Science is not God and it is wrong sometimes...but it has saved lives. There are "right" answers and "wrong" answers..that is just how it is.
