Video of Timbro launch of Explaining Postmodernism / Postmodernismens Förklaring

At the book-release event in Stockolm hosted by Timbro, my publisher, I talked about the book for about 15 minutes. Moderator Thomas Gür then asked me good questions and helped direct questions from the audience. The program is in English, except for Adam Cwejman’s initial introduction, and lasts for about an hour.

(The screenshot is misleading, as I am not actually conducting the Swedish Philharmonic.)

Here also is a follow-up discussion and online debate (in Swedish) at Genusdebatten (and continued here). And here is an editorial review from Dagens Nyheter.

  1. Again, this is wonderful. Unlike those thinkers it critiques, marvelously lucid. Which prompts me to think of Nietzsche’s words, “Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity.”

  2. Eric Landstrom

    If postmodernists have accepted that their brands of politics and ethics have been failures, what would a postmodern political victory look like?
