Dear Prof Hicks
I listened to your talk “Understanding Postmodernism: The 3 Stages to Today´s Insanity (Stephen Hicks)”. Do you have a peer reviewed article in which you discuss the three stages of postmodernism and which I can use as a reference source.
Kind Regards

Hi Johan: That talk was based on material from my book, Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault (Scholargy, 20024), which was peer-reviewed. Thanks for your interest.
