And avoid equivocation. The ideas of a post-modern (or post-Christian)age, suggested by the likes of Toynbee, Lukacs, Voegelin, or Walker Percy, et al., are in a different paradigm altogether from the anti-foundationalist relativism popular with left-wing academics.

I use post-modern in its most general acceptance, what comes after the modern. That should, it seems, provisionally count for every paradigm. In any case, from the authors you have mentioned, there is an academic consensus that rationalism has been found bankrupt.
