About the talk... One of the truly astounding things about postmodernism is that, whatever it became in the hands of less talented enthusiasts, it originated as more or less what many of its recent practitioners say it is not, that is, it began as a formal system or a series of formal systems. Formal systems are probably not well-known or understood outside of mathematics, computer and natural sciences, but they are pervasive across social sciences and humanities as well. This paper will examine the two sides of this question. On the one side, what takes place when a society only speaks with propositions that are determined to be either rationally or factually true, and on the other side, what happens when language is fully metaphorical? About the speaker... Dorothea Olkwoski is University of Colorado Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at CU Colorado Springs. She is the Director of Cognitive Studies, former Director of Humanities, former Chair of Philosophy, and former founding Director of Women's Studies. Olkowski is the author of more than one hundred articles and fourteen books, including her most recent publication, Deleuze, Bergson, and Merleau-Ponty, The Logic and Pragmatics of Affect, Perception, and Creation (Indiana University Press, 2021). Lecture presented in collaboration with the Centre for Creativity.
