Postmodernism is not so much a philosophy, as it is a phenomenon of mind.

postmodernism


It didn't take long to find a suitable image to represent 'postmodernism'.  The above image is truly frightening -- because it's a real object.  It is not a Halloween mask.  The device (called an Aurentieth's mask) was once (still?) used to restrain certain insane individuals: that is to say, psychopathic cannibals.  So, what does that have to do with postmodernism?

According to many sources, Bono (the lead singer of the rock band 'U2' - see above image) is something of an icon for the Emergent Church Movement.  He has even reportedly been called "the official theologian" of that Movement.  To many in that movement, as well as to very many others in more traditional Christian churches, Bono is a kind of holy man, in an eclectic sort of way: he's cosmopolitan, pacifistic, postmodern and, above all, ecumenical - besides being super rich and (as some think,) way cool.  Oh, yeah, and he's a Christian. 

Or, so he says.
