I'm sorry but where did I refer to the "science wars" above? If we accept that the "science wars" was based on the clash of post-modernism with establishment disciplines, then we are a talking primarily about a argument that has taken place in the academy and may have been only manifested itself to the larger culture in art, entertainment, and certain activities. I am, however, unaware of any "Post-modern political party" in the U.S. I doubt that even if there was one, it would have very supporters. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
