UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT DENVER SITE

A reference from the World Wide Web
PROGRAMME NOTE: This is a comprehensive site on critical theory and postmodern thought. It is organized by major postmodern writers and lists readings on a range of critical topics.

This site yields information on the following writers who are currently actively studied in THE PROGRAMME: Barthes, Baudrillard, Derrida, the Frankfurt School, Habermas, Heidegger, Jameson, Lyotard, de Man, Rorty.

We find here much on Martin Heidegger. Heidegger, along with Nietzsche, grows increasingly central to the critical theory section of THE PROGRAMME. The site has material on many other major postmodern figures.

Of special value to THE PROGRAMME in the list of Readings is Brent G. Wilson, The Postmodern Paradigm; after you access the UC-Denver homepage below, you will find Wilson listed under "Readings." Alternatively, you can go directly to Wilson's article without going through the UC-Denver homepage: Brent G. Wilson.

An educationist, Wilson in this article gives a brief story of the evolution of philosophy from the beginning up to the postmodern. He does so to explain the differences between postmodern critical theories and those that came before. This story, embedded in his long article aimed at those who specialize in instructional design, is a good gloss on our Ten Commandments of the Postmodern and on the comparative listing of modern and postmodern characteristics by I. Hassan.

A related UC-Denver site is Theory and Philosophy in Education, Technology and Culture.

The files at this site call for extensive study and will doubtless yield new material for THE PROGRAMME as time goes on.
