Indeed, I was copy-pasting the parent poster's words so as to faithfully respond. Enlightenment, Modernism and Post-modernism all being distinct things, no-one parodies their confusion better than Monty Python; What have the Romans ever done for us? Is Post-modernism the end of Enlightenment? Maybe yes, but not in a 'bad way', simply that post-modernism is the last stage of enlightenment, when a developmental stage has attained self-awareness and self-critical capabilities. First we had to become enlightened in order to see the limits of enlightenment.
