It wasn't written by me, I was quoting from the article, and it's not
particularly metaphorical either. Indeed, one of the points made is that most
of the dominant thinkers and writers of postmodernism are now dead in a quite
physical sense. This might not by itself prove that postmo as a school of
thought is dead though.
O.K.

Yet, as McEvoy notes, postmodernism (if false -- is there such a thing as a
false philosophy?) belongs in World III (of objective -- included
'fallible' "knowledge"). So reports on its death may not just be immature but
out
of a lack of taste for perceiving the profundity of Popper's thought. Or not.
Cheers,
