Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern by Andrew Wells Garnar

Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern by Andrew Wells Garnar

This book reconstructs the postmodern in light of an analysis of technology through classical pragmatism. It provides a pragmatic interpretation of information and communication technologies, exploring how social interactions occur through these technologies, and ways to democratically address the challenges of postmodernity.

[T]he book is excellent for an academic settingThough sticking largely to canon, Garner explains many complex ideas surrounding postmodernism in simple, clear ways, making the book an excellent starting point for much exploration of the topic. It is also a solid resource on how to write clearly, how to use the literature to support or counterpoint claims, and how to (and how not to) formulate arguments. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates; graduate students.

Garnar presents a strong argument that our understanding of technology during postmodernity will require an ongoing conversation between classical pragmatism and the architects of postmodern thought. Extensively researched, clearly presented, and highly recommended. -- Larry A. Hickman, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
