"Postmodernity is modernity without illusions. The illusions in question boil down to the belief that the ‘messiness’ of the human world is but a temporary and repairable state, sooner or later to be replaced by the orderly and systematic rule of reason. The truth in question is that the ‘messiness’ will stay whatever we do or know . . . Postmodernity brings ‘reenchantment’ of the world after the protracted and earnest, though inconclusive, modern struggle to disenchant it."-- Postmodern Ethics (1993) is a book by Zygmunt Bauman
