Abstract

Mainline postmodern theory often makes Thanatos either the focal point or point of departure for its account of human existence. Radicalizing certain founding premises of modern rationalism, it typically exaggerates and distorts the role that awareness of human finitude actually plays in human life. In this article the author examines the way human finitude is treated in a form of thought that Peter Augustine Lawler has described as postmodernism rightly understood.
