- — Old certainties (God, Order, Reason, Communication) can no longer be affirmed
- — We cannot “KNOW” anything about reality
- — We are alone – alienated from our selves, each other, and God
- — We cannot impose order on our lives – life is fragmented, meaningless, empty
- — There is no possibility for “heroic” action or value in any action at all

— The Moderns are correct – we can’t KNOW anything -- if there is order or purpose or meaning in the Universe, it is beyond our comprehension
— “Meaning” is a value we construct and assign to reality – there is no intrinsic value – all the structures (religion, morals, politics) we live by are made up by us – they are grand “fictions”
— Because there is no meaning and because we can’t “know” reality, there is no reason to do (or not to do) anything
