What you said just there reminds me of the book Ernest Gellner wrote
recently, called Postmodernism, Reason and Religion (I think), in which
he sees these three intellectual trends as stable for the foreseeable
future. i.e., the Enlightenment is still going strong (Reason), but
disenchantment (real or feigned) with reason drives people either to PoMo
or fundamentalism.
