postmodernism was and is a reactionary project. its advantages (greater freedom of thought and design) do not outweigh its disadvantages (greater singularisation, arbitrariness). it is a failed reaction within modernity to modernity. it has led to an incomprehensible softening of presuppositions of thought (categories, logic, etc.), to the replacement of the intellectual
discipline of science by the loquacity of poetry, to indifference to elementary questions of justice and power in politics, and to cultural arbitrariness and irresponsibility.
the work „the end of postmodernism – illustrated by 23 randomly selected portraits“ takes up the untrue claim of poststructuralists that the world is text.
