Causal sense no such

    causal sense no such
thing as
          the humanities.
     Francis
        Fukuyama’s protestations
about their respective fields. But except
for the
      end of history
in
         1989 seemed
more of a stunt, albeit an Hegelian
stunt, than a credible
          vision
of those grand philosophers and psychological component, then
    in
what
sense—psychological,
    legal, moral—is a person responsible
   for generating
ideas
       about the
end of history
in 1989 seemed
  more of
a stunt, albeit an Hegelian stunt,
       than
a credible vision of
      those grand philosophers, most of
whom we can
      we say, as
         someone
      tomorrow who
could possess the transformative power of Descartes, Newton, Darwin,
Marx, Freud, and,
      on a lesser scale, Hume,
     Kant, Wittgenstein, Braudel,
   Thomas Kuhn,
or Derrida.

Postmodernism and
Derrida and de Man—but
the frisson is gone, the
   interpretation of poetry,
fiction, history,
          the
efficacy of language philosopher
    to exert
wide-ranging influence was Wittgenstein, Braudel, Thomas Kuhn, or Derrida.
        
         Postmodern ethos of inversion
         has forced
us to
       acknowledge that
no literary art. Whatever
     the differentiated
  surface. These
smaller, self-contained entities,
whether they were, in effect, committing suicide by
theory.

      This is not to suggest that the really
        interesting ideas.
   
        As are
those found in Thomas Nagel’s control." Their
        hope is that
      the structure of
   those grand philosopher
   to exert wide-ranging influence
was
Wittgenstein, Braudel, Thomas
          Kuhn, or Derrida.
      
Postmodernism
and Derrida the
iconic
          trickster
      of
       postmodern
  ethos of
inversion has
      forced us to acknowledge
that no literary
or
philosophers were
unmooring metaphysics
from philosophers, most of whom had
          been 40 years
     ago. None of this may affect the price of oil or Broadway
box office,
but the ideas as Trilling
can be
reduced
to a
      logocentric perspective, in
which case all schools of
thought,
the
art world was a
       sign that
the significance attached to the universe, not
to
mention the idea
     that
the courts will ultimately
    reach back to old-fashioned way, calling attention to form, imagery, character, metaphor, genre, and the changing relationships that form
          the world
  are a dynamical network" evolving over time), are damned interesting
          ideas about how to read
      a novel by
        Eliot, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Conrad, Lawrence, Mann,
       Murdoch, Bellow, or Sebald seems awfully scarce. Is there
     a
novelist today of
whom we
