1. its anti -theoretical position is essentially a theoretical stance.
2. postmodernism stresses the irrational instruments of reason are freely employed to advance to its perspective.
3. the postmodernists prescription to focus on the marginal itself an evaluative emphasis of precisely of the sorts that it attacks.
4. its stresses intertextuality but often treats texts in isolation.
5. By rejecting modern criteria for assessing theory, then cannot argue that there is no valid criteria for judgement.
6. they also criticise the inconsistency of modernism but refuse to be held to norms of consistency itself.
