The Trouble with Theory The Educational Costs of Postmodernism Kitching, Gavin Publisher:  Penn State Press Year Published:  2008   Pages:  224pp   Price:  $29   ISBN:  978-0-271-03452-2 Resource Type:  Book Postmodern theory has engaged the hearts and heads of the brightest students because of its apparent political and social radicalism. Yet Kitching writes: "At the heart of postmodernism is very poor, deeply confused, and misbegotten philosophy. As a result even the very best students who fall under its sway produce radically incoherent ideas about language, meaning, truth, and reality."
