If you are looking for an accurate, readable, and useful summary of intellectual history as it pertains to the modern era, I have the book for you. Albert Borgmann's Crossing the Postmodern Divide provides all that and more. The "more" is his own critique of postmodernism's thin offerings in response to the crisis of modernism. He is especially interested in our individualized culture and in how our public celebrations are impoverished thereby. An enjoyable read.
