We owe to William Hazlitt’s The Spirit of the Age one of the best known descriptions and definitions of Romanticism. If anybody would like to make a similar analysis in regard to postmodern theory and praxis it might not be a great surprise to find out that some of the names that immediately come to mind to many people have under persistent attack in the past years not so much for their ideas but rather for what they represent. It would be a mistake to take for granted that all names represent the same things. As the furore for theory seems to abate, it seems to be high time to assess which are those names that best represent the spirit of postmodernity.
