The Last Book of Postmodernism comprises set of essays written on and about 'postmodernism' and
education. It is written in an apocalyptic tone that treats themes of religion and spiritualism
drawing on poststructuralist sources of inspiration to contrast the present 'postmodern
condition' and the philosophical significance and historical influence of Nietzsche's statement
'God is dead.' The book considers the meaning of the 'end' of Christendom and the prospect of
global spirituality. It also considers the 'end' of literature and the beginning of
user-generated cultures and the implications of this shift for education and the philosophical
model of dialogue that has dominated the humanities in the West. It charts the 'end' of
philosophy and the rise of 'body' criticism the promise of the Enlightenment the relation
between education power and freedom geophilosophy and the pedagogy of the concept and the
narrative turn as a basis for a new critical language for educational studies. Finally the
book considers post-postmodernism and the 'end' of the linguistic turn in educational theory.
