If you think postmodernism comes from Hegel, I'm not convinced you know what continental philosophy is.

Let's be clear, though. Heidegger was an existentialist (in the continental tradition). He was dense, but understandable. Postmodernism is just gibberish.


Hegel was self-refuting enough to be pomo.
