identifies the consequences of postmodern theory through such issues as
grief, freedom, beauty, obscenity, love, and sex, to its axiological conse–
quences. Postmodernism'sdistribution of meaning over space rather than
time recurs as abasic motif throughout the chapters, each of which in some
way amplifies the book's underlying theme: virtue. The "exposition" of the
theme in the first ten chapters receives its "development" in the chapter,
"Postmodern Virtue," and its "recapitulation" in the aphorisms of the final
chapter.
