Postmodern theory thus is not pre-modern, pre-rational, or anti-rational but questions standard-form (modernist) rationality, radicality, and universality. It recognizes the universality and multiplicity of “singularities,” which are never simply particulars included under a universal, even as it thinks the origin is divided, never a simple source, so that its root system is as Deleuze liked to say “rhizomatic.”
