I totally get what your saying - to me Romanticism (or a kind of uncertain Romanticism(!)) is an important feature of the "Postmodern condition". @Alan - I like your point about anti-humanism/anti-human. Postmodernity is definately misanthropic - human experience by proxy, etc. However, I don't believe that we're entirely certain about this!

Too often postmodernity is seen as a fundamentallyn chaotic style with modernist, i.e. reductive, bones; I think this is connected with the strain of anti-humanism that runs through a number of thinkers, and has been taken up as if anti-humanism meant anti-human. I think a lot of us have the same tendencies towards romanticism, even if we keep it out of our work - it's there in everyday life. For me, it's about the onlly thing that keeps me going at this point. I appreciate your text - - Alan I agree with you and appreciate your direction.
