its compatibility with non-universalistic approaches to truth and goodness is actually John Dewey's point. Yeah, John Dewey, the master of Pragmatism: the concept that "reality" is invalid; that the quest for absolutes is a perversion; and that truth is not correspondence to fact, but rather "that which works." "Works" here means "satisfies for now the arbitrary desires of men." No, thank you. "Pragmatism" is what "Pomo" rose out of. I have satisfied myself that I have found a definition of "Pomo" that is accepted within Academia, and I will continue to use it in situations where it fits, as I did in my post to Win. You keep your fragile aging fingers typing out your protests, and I will try to keep my fragile aging figure upright on my Moped. :^)
