    Postmodern theory has engaged the hearts and heads of the brightest students because of its apparent political and social radicalism.

13. Where Do Postmodernists Come From?
    Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter
    Published: 1995
    Eagleton argues that left intellectuals have adopted postmodernism out of a sense of having been badly defeated, a belief that the left as a political tendency has little future. Culturalism, he argues, involves an extreme subjectivism combined with a deep pessimism, a sense that it isn't worth the effort to learn about the world, to analyze social systems, for instance, because they can't be changed anyway.
