"Postmodern relativism is the new baroque stage of the protestant revival: reason is apparently being forced to abdicate at the combined protests of its unsatisfied petitioners." (pp. 139-40).
Funny that this was already apparent to Rose in the 90s and is only more apparent today. We desperately need a reformed reason. Your project, then, is a new Reformation! Or maybe I should say a Counter-Counter-Counter-Reformation.
I do wonder what the modifier "baroque" adds to Rose's thesis.
