I already did ;-) Cf. http://www.juenger.org/pdf/thesis_by_chapter/9_sturm.pdf I'm afraid I can't really go into a detailed debate on post-modernism at the moment (I've been working in IT for too long to have the details of the debates all at my finger tips any more). Anyway, I quite liked writing that chapter... Ultimately, of course, Jünger wasn't a post-modernist but turned instead to the entrenched (pun intended) certainties of Catholic dogma. However, one could surely also read much (but by no means all) of Jünger's work as an attempt to arrive at a stable meta-position from which to the survey the world across time and space. In a way, that then makes his Annäherungen far less subversive than many would have. Regards, John BTW - virtual PC now nicely installed and networked.
