Um, I take it you do not have a very high opinion of post modernism?!

I think some others might say that "meaning is use" and "therapy"
could be the bywords of postmodernism.

I think it might depend on whether your understanding of "pomo"
is structuralist or post-structuralist or the same kind of extreme
empiricist that characterizes W2.
