This comment on Parker's 'Against Post modernism : Psychology in Cultural Context’ (Parker, 1998) contextualizes Parker's 'againstism' (critical) stance. Parker characterizes post modernism as theoretical play that has gone too far. Having exhausted its progressive potential, it's become a breeding ground for reactionary ideas now threatening psychology and a radical political agenda. Parker, recognizing that what he fears postmodernism has spawned are products of modernism, employs 'dialectical critique' to historically contextualize post modernism and its dangers. As postmodernists Parker takes to task, the authors argue that the relevant points of difference between him and them have more to do with their differing institutional locations and conception / practices of dialectics than with post modernism.
