How do the Post modernists get tangled up in this?

Postmodernism is a reaction against modernism. They may be said to be anti-modern. A postmodern mind can hold conflicting beliefs. Similarly, an evolutionist will perhaps assert that a theory is a fact and that laws such as the law of biogenesis and the law of cause and effect are not really laws at all. Postmodernists also believe that meaning is determined by the reader, not the writer, the hearer, not the speaker. Remember Bill Clinton and the meaning of "is?"

A photon of light is both a particle and a wave. I guess physicists are no better than Bill Clinton, either. Feh.

Post modernism is a reaction against modernism.

Fair enough. Modernism was strongly anti-Capitalist btw (Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot...)

A postmodern mind can hold conflicting beliefs.

Bertrand Russell (no Pomost Modernist) said this was the sign of a great mind.

Post modernists also believe that meaning is determined by the reader, not the writer, the hearer, not the speaker.

This predates post modernism going back to Classical ideas about perception and subject/object divisions. Anyway the term Postmodernist' is used as a catch all for everything a person dislikes far too often.
