reflecting on my comment I realize it could perhaps be construed as an attack on OP (specifically my dismissal of anyone with an opinion on the topic the past 15 years). But it wasn't meant like that. I am so deep in my habit of reading only old books and original thinkers, that I forget people don't share this passion. My habit makes me automatically dismiss content generated by anyone still alive or any book that is displayed as new release in a bookshop etc. Secondly I guess it's always a gamble to mention JP no matter in what light on HN since it is considered flame-bait. However IMHO it's impossible to separate the political element from the discussion about post-modernity (whether it's PM in art _or_ philosophy - though oddly those who don't grasp the philosophy also don't get the art). c'est la vie :)
