Post your answers to the following questions:
1. Discuss the contact you have had with the postmodern mindset.
2. Some argue that those who say they believe that all truth is relative don’t actually live this way. Explain why it is virtually impossible to live out a relativistic worldview.
3. Discuss the validity of this statement: “People are only relativistic when it comes to the issues of morals and metaphysics (God, spiritual things, etc.). They are not relativistic when it comes to the mundane.”
4. Do you still see modernism’s overly optimistic worldview in our society today? Give examples.
5. Empathize with people’s despair caused by the failed claims of modernism.
6. Which way of thinking do you identify with most: Modernism or
Postmodernism? How?
7. Why do you think that postmoderns are described as people who are in despair? How have you observed this?
8. In what ways would having a subjective or relative worldview cause you despair?
9. How was your thinking most challenged by the lesson? Explain.
