Post-Modernism: Deconstruction and Derrida Pt. 1

by Eric Czygan through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This very imaginative and painstakingly visual project reveals so many valuable core facts concerning the nature of Post-Modernism. We see Modernism and Structuralism contrasted as well. Czygan has taken a very abstruse topic and made it comprehensible, though it may take a few viewings to grasp these subtle points. A multi-level video editing job "deconstructs" the videography itself as Czygan's piece is highly self-aware. Excellent work...jp

I REALLY liked this video, but like many people I found the "background" music to be distracting, a little too loud at times. I really hope you re-record this; please speak up, the hiss from the microphone is also distracting. Say it loud, with the trim/level on the mic a little lower. I am in the audio engineering field and I realize that this type of thing can be difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating. THIS IS A GREAT AND WORTHWHILE PROJECT!! I would help if I could. Thank you.

@DJFNB You certainly could help...please feel free to edit the volume in more nicely. I get very busy just teaching and accumulating new ones, but may just revisit a few in the near future.

Thanks for the post. Very interesting. Is is posted anywhere without the music?

It is atmospheric but I found it distracting.

The background music sucks - why don't you produce a simple video?

before you go into postmodernism make sure you really read hegel... that's all i can say.

@jsumteri By back-pedaling , I suppose you're referring to his turning away from marxism .That was more of a revision in light of new evidence. What's your problem with critical theory ?

[jsumteri]

@SonytoBratsoni Habermas did some major back-pedaling... but he stands on the toxic deception of Critical Theory, which means he's part of the problem. The deceptive practices of the Frankfurt school are unfortunately all too alive and well.

[SonytoBratsoni]

@jsumteri I did the research , you are deeply mistaken . Jurgen Habermas , the current head of the Frankfurt School, is one the leading critics of postmodernism .

[jsumteri]

Buddhism and personal forms of contemplation are extremely valid --- but the author's read of Postmodernism is really missing some MAJOR points: namely, the idea developed out of an extremist group in Germany called the Frankfurt School. This "school" developed the notion of "Critical Theory" as a manner of luring people (and especially the defenseless minorities) into helping them destroy Western culture. Don't simply believe me - please do your own research.

I've found it best to spend some time alone, away from active structures, to quiet the chatter of mind. Perception expands and becomes participatory. Some days, the whole world is like a babbling stream. Other days, well...
