What is “Modernity”, If it Is? Two words that I have seen thrown around on a daily basis, with often very little definition, are “modern” and “post-modern.” Both tend to be used as insults in my circles, “modern” referring to hyper-inclusive mass democracy, secularism, and capitalism (of the worse sort), while “post-modern” means subjectivistic, relativistic, and (intentionally) obscure. “Modernity” is the great enemy that needs to be overcome, upon whom all contemporary ills are cast unto.

"In his objection to the objective based learning model, Dunne discovered the Aristotelian concept of “phronesis.” Phronesis is usually translated as “practical judgment” or “practical wisdom” and describes a type of knowledge that requires proximity to its object."

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this.
Outstanding reasoning. And a very Collingwoodian approach to thinking about philosophy and history, as it should be!
