Fleeing the Universal by Carl Rapp
Fleeing the Universal criticizes the arguments and methods of deconstruction, the new pragmatism, and New Historicism, and suggests that the alternatives to post-philosophy developed by Hegel in the early nineteenth century and by Santayana in the early twentieth century have not been superseded by any theory associated with the culture of postmodernism or the analytical techniques of poststructuralism.-

"With clarity and wit, Rapp reveals how postmodernist claims to emancipation and pluralism collapse upon themselves to disclose a position which wavers disingenuously between equally incoherent poles of smug irrationalism and intellectual fascism" — William Maker, Clemson University
"Carl Rapp's Fleeing the Universal is a clearly written, lively critique of what he calls post-rational criticisms, especially deconstruction, the new pragmatism, and New Historicism." — Michael Fischer, University of New Mexico
