Keywords: The Tao of Politics; "postmodern weakness"

Summary/Abstract: The present article approaches the „postmodern weakness”, establishing the fact that, the term (postmodernism) would circulate fallaciously, within a contort context, marked by confusion and manipulations [the Seminar from Stuttgart, 1991, stated through Ihab Hassan, Malcolm Bradbury, John Barth, Raymond Federman, William Gass the birth of the postmodernisms and the end of postmodernism (as a continuation of modernism, but situated “outside the temporal order”)]. Placed in the post-Christian phase of history (of wild comparatives, pluralism, and multiculturalism and of the other variations on the theme of modern relativism), postmodernisms open the way to a special knowledge, through revelation, and not by the «complexes of culture» that accompanies any change of cultural, philosophical, political or religious paradigm. From the psychohistory / geography’s perspective, «The Tao of Politics» becomes an interrelated initiative, which reacts to the “crisis of the West” by appealing to the Asian imports, organizing a thinking space, barely measured and perceived.
