Postmodernism has evoked great controversy and it continues to do
so today, as it disseminates into general discourse. Some see its
principles, such as its fundamental resistance to metanarratives,
as frighteningly disruptive, while a growing number are reaping the
benefits of its innovative perspective. In Political Theory and
Postmodernism, Stephen K. White outlines a path through the
postmodern problematic by distinguishing two distinct ways of
thinking about the meaning of responsibility, one prevalent in
modern and the other in postmodern perspectives. Using this as a
guide, White explores the work of Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida,
Lyotard, and Habermas, as well as 'difference' feminists, with the
goal of showing how postmodernism can inform contemporary
ethical-political reflection. In his concluding chapter, White
examines how this revisioned postmodern perspective might bear on
our thinking about justice.
