From the back cover

Apart from the fact that postmodernism has had a major impact on the development of contemporary architecture, the fine arts and literature, it has also become an instructive force in areas such as history or the social sciences and has even inspired certain forms of higher education. On the other hand, it remains to be seen yet whether postmodernism will also lead towards a postmodernization of social practices similar to the modernization of society after modernism has become an ideé directrice during the early decades of this century. This is one of the essential questions discussed in this volume by Canadian and German scholars who work in disciplines such as Business Administration, Economics, History, Literature, Philosphy, and Political Science.
