description: Morton (German, Duke U.) analyzes several strains of contemporary critical theory as essentially forms of traditional philosophical skepticism regarding the possibility of objective knowledge and determinate signification, and argues that dogmatism and skepticism were together rendered obsolete in the 18th century by the critical realism of Kant and Herder, and again in the 20th century by Wittgenstein.
