Description: "Postmodern American Sociology maintains that postmodernism is an aesthetic challenge to the modern radical enough to uproot fundamental assumptions of the modern. The book views the modern, the postmodern and the relationship between the two in terms of the three paradigms of knowledge: science, morality and aesthetics. According to author Jongryul Choi, postmodernism maintains that ontology, epistemology and ethics/politics in the postmodern era have been aestheticized."--BOOK JACKET.
