Louis Hoffman 's posting :

The Three Major Philosophical Epochs

Provides a useful synopsis as to the shift of attitudes toward knowledge and authority through the premodern, modern, and postmodern eras. Highly readable and thus quite worthwhile. Hoffman's essay also references a survey tabulated as a map which correlates global trends in shifts of fundamental human values. See http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/

In Shopping and philosophy The Economist links predictions made by the fountainheads of postmodern thought (Lyotard, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault and Jacues Derrida) to the contempoary explosion of niche markets. Economic insight and a wonderfully lucid read. The Economist, Dec 19th 2006

Post-Modern Art (1945) by Jim Lane and Talking pomo: An Analysis of the postmodern movement by Steve Mizrach samples the breath of materials published on the web about postmodernism. If the reader has only a few minutes to give to postmodern art, Jim Lane's essay dials right in on the subject. For a longer read, Steve Mirzach analysis puts postmodernism in broad context with a rare economy of words.
