Postmodern movements are well known in the arts. After a major artistic revolution, and after the “modern” innovations have been assimilated, the threads of premodern thought are always reconsidered. Much of value may be rediscovered and put to new use. The modern context casts new light on premodern thought, which in turn shades perspectives on modernism.
