Description

Is postmodernity over? Does postmodernism still have anything important to say? Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern argues "yes" to both. Despite the claims of a number of scholars that "postmodern" is over and done with, Andrew Wells Garnar demonstrates its continued relevance by carefully examining the use of information and communication technologies. These technologies illustrate many important postmodern concepts, thus showing the continued significance of postmodern philosophy. Garnar reconstructs these concepts with the tools of classical pragmatism. By engaging with pragmatists as well as with the thought of Jean-François Lyotard, Albert Borgmann, and others, this book produces a revitalized vision of both pragmatism and the postmodern. This version of pragmatism reflects the tenor of the times in a more nuanced way, while also showing how the postmodern continues to play out in contemporary life. Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern shows how a pragmatic conception of technology opens up possibilities for working within postmodernity to materially address social and technical problems. Review [T]he book is excellent for an academic setting. Though sticking largely to canon, Garner explains many complex ideas surrounding postmodernism in simple, clear ways, making the book an excellent starting point for much exploration of the topic. It is also a solid resource on how to write clearly, how to use the literature to support or counterpoint claims, and how to (and how not to) formulate arguments. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; graduate students.--CHOICE Garnar presents a strong argument that our understanding of technology during postmodernity will require an ongoing conversation between classical pragmatism and the architects of postmodern thought. Extensively researched, clearly presented, and highly recommended.--Larry A. Hickman, Southern Illinois University Carbondale About the Author Andrew Wells Garnar earned his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.
