- Summary:
- From relativism to relativity, from quantum theory to queer theory, Postmodern Encounters is a series of small books, each discussing a key idea at the cutting edge of contemporary thought.
- Umberto Eco: best-selling author, medieval historian, essayist and semiotician has radically moved the goalposts in our understanding of culture. His work -- whether analyzing the psychological sources of our fascinations with sports celebrity or presenting serendipitous misreadings of great books dares to go where no theory has gone before -- to the very turf of everyday life.
