It was then as it is now, except, of > course, it is worse now than on Plato's time. Progessively worse, turning into a mainstream agenda. Here are few more of the same ilk: "Post-modernism is a variety of ways has made inroads into the thinking even of non-intellectuals. It is no longer politically correct to assert the unqualified reality of anything, or to assume that one can know truth." (Klaus Klostermaier, theologian, Oxford, ISKCON Communication Journal, Vol 4, No 2, December 1996) [Evil people are] "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2 Timothy 3:7) "Indian English authors/scholars told me that reading texts through the authors' lens was made obsolete by postmodernist theories. Some felt that Eliot's personal experiences behind his famous poems was irrelevant - even though it is normal while studying thinkers to bring in their personal experiences as background and context."
