I think Modernism is Aristotelian.

I understand exactly where you are coming from and I don't think Gödel thought of himself as a post modern (I think he was a royalist politically)

The effect of his proof was by my definition the definition of post-modernism. The history of mathematics has a pre-Gödel Hilbert or modern period and a Post-Gödel or postmodern period perfect. :)

[edit]

I don't think that Gödel should be included in the nothing means anything crowd. and I do agree that mathematics is or should be immune to the stupidities of the worst manifestations of post-modernism is other fields.
