Libertarian Postmodernism? The Debate

In New York I debated Dr. Thaddeus Russell, who argues that postmodernism is correct and useful in advocating for a free society. I disagreed, arguing that the Enlightenment is essential to liberty and that postmodernism is an explicit reject of all Enlightenment and libertarian principles. The SOHO Forum debate was moderated by Gene Epstein.

Post-script: In the debate I offered to post the quotations I mentioned from Kuhn, Quine, Feyerabend, and others. They are posted here: https://www.stephenhicks.org/2019/07/29/soho-debate-quotes-quine-kuhn-feyerabend-and-lentricchia/
