Thank you, I finally understand what a postmodernist is. It's good to know we have a label we can use to dismiss the beliefs, morals and ideas of anyone we don't agree with. Even if they have been in our society since before Descartes and Bacon, we should other them and deny the truth of their existence. That will make a better world. Praise Him.
We sure know what your bias is: shaking your stick at the ineffable. Hey, we can play "let me fix that for you" and I can imagine that you meant: "that was an excellent overview right up until his prickly _sexual conservatism_ came into it at the end". But I don't actually know that's what you meant, and I'm afraid I'm giving you far more credit than you deserve in the department of effable cognition (plus any capacity at all for humour). The less charitable reconstruction is that you actually thought there were no biases until then, and worse, that you actually think there's _such a thing_ as no biases until then.
he got the last part wrong. It's not that postmodernism wants to replace it with their "truth" but rather question the idea of "truth" altogether. this guy assumes that postmodernism is replacing a dated theory, it's not. Hope this helps you
Pable postmodernists question the idea of truth to confuse you only to then follow up with their truth or morals. It’s a game of power and control and it’s old school marxism bud.
@@Purplelawn no it doesn't. Who are you reading? Read Derrida or Foucault. It has nothing to do w marxism. You clearly do not understand it and I think you just want to repeat mainstream nonsense by tying everything to Marxism.
Albert Einstein said that if you can't explain it to a layman, then you don't understand it. After trudging through dozens and dozens of unedifying and jargon-filled explanations by students and teachers of philosophy, I finally found a comprehensive explanation - from a theologian, the most anti-postmodern source available! I guess 'know thine enemy' still resonates in the christian faith :D
I like the way he explained it in a very simple and clear manner. Instead turning it into a existential bio political argument and into an attack. It does have some bio social psychological implications and it still to this day from this video being posted 3 years ago 2019 Feb 2 ❤
Perfect condensed overview of ideas that are dominant in our culture. Dr. Dew briefly skimmed over truth theories of today but didn't point out the unique philosophy born in American which is pragmatism. Pragmatism says the truth is that which works. Pragmatism doesn't have time to concern itself with ultimate ideas or metaphysical concerns. Pluralism and its handmaiden relativism stepped in to fill some the voids in that thinking. Truth is slain in the main because all something needs to be true is personal preference. John Locke is rolling over in his grave with his correspondence theory. I think metaphysics was on its way out with Kants critique of pure reason. Things outside the phenomenal realm (the realm of sensation) cannot be known according to Kant and he put metaphysics in a category he called the Noumenal realm. That's a radical change in epistemology and knowing God through nature, or natural revelation. However, if Paul is right then Kant's critique is manifestly false.
I thought it was a brilliant rendition of post modernism Albert Mahler and I agree with your biased end comment totally; about it infecting our culture. I think coming in with Truth, with capitol T, is going to be challenging but after all the obscurities it’s what western society will crave.
These is one of the most biased explanations I have seen of something that is very complex. As he said some of these things were "settled" during the age of Socrates and Plato and came up through Christianity and other periods. Totally disregarding that someone made it up literally, no one is making up the fact that someone has certain reproductive parts. What people are rejecting is the box that puts them in. To put it simply people who are born WITH certain parts doesn't mean you ARE something. If you are born a boy does that mean you have to like the color blue because when you are born that's what they will drape you in. Who decided that was a thing?
speaking to the ending bc i more or less agreed with most of it: you have a flawed understanding of transgenderism. if someone born a male transitions, they are not claiming, “i am a male“ (metaphysical), they are claiming “i feel like a boy.” and according to modernism, there is indeed a difference between sex and gender (like that one isn’t even debatable my dude). so while i see postmodernism’s influence here, it’s not quite as simple as you make it seem, and it certainly manifests itself in different ways, not always by rejecting the idea of truth. but why would i expect nuance from a 6 minute video on a heavily biased channel?
Many us think we’re postmodernists but actually we’re just only evolving since we live in the Singularity Age of Artificial Intelligence and Nano innovations-
I really enjoyed the video until about the last 30 second's. I at first was amazed I had found a religious perception not biased but ideas eloquently explained. In the end you correctly point out that post modernist ideas reject your truth. Thankfully these people came along throughout history and rejected the idea of objective truth coming from a religious source. I cannot fully agree with all post modern ideas as they assume a universal truth exists in all people and can be taught to all people, but it's in a funny way similar to the way churches teach us. Gender is a cultural, social identity and has always been fluid since thousands of years before Judeo-Christian empires conquered culturally diverse nations all over the planet. Your definition of man and woman is based in an assumption of the dominance of biological certainty defining identity. Nature is extremely complex in this matter with unbelievably sexually complex organisms, we are but one of these organisms. If more religious thinkers experienced the felt presence of divinity in nature herself one can examine the assumption of understanding who or what god is, and what role we play in that story. Much love to all.
nature and biology arent religious though. I don't understand how you define Gender to be a cultural and social identity thats fluid, when Gender is related to how many X and Y chromosomes a person has. Which again, isn't a religious statement. I agree that nature is complex in this across species, but as human beings, it's not complex at all. and has been consistent since humans existed. So i'm not sure how a person can dictate their own Gender. no hate, just want a genuine discussion.
@Shezmu I agree that transsexuality is more of a psychological phenomenon as well. and based on the current social climate and suicide rates amongst Transexuals, it seems to be a negative one. But my wonder, is how it has entered the physical realm, bridging the gap between the discrimination of one's thoughts and one's physical appearance. I'm not sure how to interpret this. And i don't think anyone else really does either. thoughts?
Kant's philosophy in a nutshell is this: madness and ignorance, actually I have a hard time thinking someone would credit that idiot, but the bible says the world belongs to the evil so... Now what you said about progress, here in Brazil a journalist completely out of her mind stated that the covid pandemic was the worst thing hamanity has faced since the World War II! I'm mean, what about the deaths in Russia's concentration camps? Or the the Chinese revolution, 60 million people. Take that as progress. Sorry, but call her stupid is a compliment. Add to this the current moral degradation of everyone including a lot of our bothers and sisters and you'll have a pretty good picture of our "progress". All these claims about truth been relative are driving me nuts. How can one live like that? I think the answer is they don't. It's just a way to racionalize their demonic beliefs. It's just crazy, but what to expect from the world, right?
@@timhenley3602 yeah? And I would. Stereotypes are true. That's why they piss people off. I'm Mexican. We're fat, our comedy is absurd, we party too hard, can't get our government corruption corrected, so?
3:00 Come on now, the "if everyone" marching band was hardly innovated by Modernism. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a more potent origin story for the "if everyone" marching band than the general turn toward monotheism in the three centuries BC. The tendency for every emergent avant-garde social technology (which subsumes both religion and science) to run "if everyone" up the flag pole amounts to universal strawman fire starter. If everyone was meek before God, we would have justice on Earth. If everyone was rational, we would have peace and harmony on Earth. Yada yada yada we've all heard this yarn before. Always wrong, always embarrassing, always the rowdy, drunken theme song of every promised salvation (God's mercy is the _other_ potent fermented beverage). More reliably universal than universal sin, hence least usefully diagnostic of any particular metaphysical or philosophic excess.
Thank you, I finally understand what a postmodernist is. It's good to know we have a label we can use to dismiss the beliefs, morals and ideas of anyone we don't agree with. Even if they have been in our society since before Descartes and Bacon, we should other them and deny the truth of their existence. That will make a better world. Praise Him.
That was an excellent overview right up until your biases came into it at the end. Still, appreciate the concise explanations of modernity.
Not biased if it’s true
We sure know what your bias is: shaking your stick at the ineffable.

That is one good explanation with clear examples! Thank you so much.. Please do more videos on these topics.

Still learning... Until the very end. Concepts of truth? Don't pretend, search inside...
Spot on. Every single word !
Great analysis in simple terms.
So it is a universal truth that there is no universal truth.
truth is not a feeling
Very well said God bless you
I NOW FINALLY UNDERSTAND, thanks sm bro
1:48 good explanation
Very informative, thank you
Tremendous explanation
Thank you ❤

It's because postmodernism undermines dogma.
This was really helpful. Thank you!
You made it easy for me to understand unlike others
We need to stand against such kind of thinking and movement which take us as human from our source of moral and ethic .

Thank you, I enjoyed it.
you mistake 'modernism' (an early 20c movement) with 'modernity' (Enlightenment etc)
The best explanation that I came up to. Thank you!
Many us think we’re postmodernists but actually we’re just only evolving since we live in the Singularity Age of Artificial Intelligence and Nano innovations-

Biological sex is immutable reality.
@Shezmu Sex is not a spectrum. It is a binary. Name the third gamete.
LOVED IT
Great explanation!
Liked the explanation. It came out clearly
i would like to thank you for the explanation but now I'm not even sure whether you 'thank you' for me even mean the same for you.😅
Sir, your video is well explained and easy to understand....Had struggled to understand this with other videos. Thank you so much....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So it's like how Christians in the US decided to define Trump as honest and worthy of worship. Gotcha.
Haha it’s so funny how you went from dense to nonsense
That summarizes postmodernism
5:08 "there's no truths" is that a truth? Seems like self defeating to me.

But thank you for helping me to understand Postmodernism clearly.
