'Since at Least Plato...' and Other Postmodernist Myths surveys the
fields of theories of postmodernism and criticizes some of the most
common claims found in them about philosophy, science, and the
relationship and literary techniques to metaphysics, epistemology,
and political ideologies. Devaney finds the accounts offered by
these theories of concepts ranging from the law of noncontradiction
to relativity and the Uncertainty Principle to be as ill-informed
as they are pervasive. Devaney shows how the use to which these
accounts have been put in constructing the story of the progression
from realism to postmodernism to modernism flattens out both the
history of ideas and the history of literature.
