What does Jordan Peterson mean by post modernism?

Postmodernism is essentially the claim that (1) since there are an innumerable number of ways in which the world can be interpreted and perceived (and those are tightly associated) then (2) no canonical manner of interpretation can be reliably derived.

How do you explain postmodernism?

One of the core progressive criticisms of Jordan Peterson is that Peterson is wrong to claim that the rise of reactionary political forces is a manifestation of cultural resistance to the deep and pervasive threat of cultural Marxism (or postmodern neo-Marxism ).

Should postmodernists be skeptical about Marxism?

Postmodernists should be as skeptical toward Marxism as toward any other canonical belief system. So the formal postmodern claim, such as it is, is radical skepticism.

What is the fundamental claim of postmodernism?

Postmodernism is essentially the claim that (1) since there are an innumerable number of ways in which the world can be interpreted and perceived (and those are tightly associated) then (2) no canonical manner of interpretation can be reliably derived. That’s the fundamental claim.

Does Jordan Peterson overstate the source of right-wing populism?
