Postmodern theory: to the question of the reasons for success

The article deals with issues related to the theory, which is primarily a combination of radical feminism, queer theory, postcolonial theory, critical racial theory and what is designated as an academic theory of social justice. The authors supplement the list of factors identified by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay that make the theory in demand in modern realities. The paper reveals certain aspects of the development of science of the 20th century that influenced the formation of the theory.
