CONSTRUCTIVE POSTMODERNISM
CONSTRUCTIVE POSTMODERNISM (by Kim Thoday) What is the notion of ‘postmodern’ and its derivatives, ‘postmodernity’ and ‘postmodernism’?

Time and Beyond Time
from C S Lewis ~~~ Our life comes to us moment by moment. One moment disappears before the next comes along: and there is room for very little in each. That is what Time is like. And of course you and I tend to take it for granted that this Time series – this arrangement […]
