You have it backward. The postmodern mind seeks to undermine truth, value, judgment and grand narratives to restore premoden subjective value and relativism. The marxist sequence from freud, boaz, marx, to the neomarxists, to postmodernists, neocons, anti family feminists, libertarians, to pc, and woke are anti western revolutions whether classical or modern. T

he late medievals and moderns that gradually restored western classical civ after the reintroduction of aristotle in 1200, with the sequence of literacy, sail, agrarian, commercial, financial, empirical, scientific and industrial revolutions inspired a sequence of counter revolutions in the marxist sequence just as the greeks and romans inspired the jewish, christian, muslim counter revolutions.

What we call reason empiricism and science evolved out of proto and early european law that prohibited authority limiting leadership to decidability possible onle from the evidence of adversarial competition.

Our western art, consistently superior, is a product of adversarial competition in craft(tech), design(asethetic, naturalism,supernormalism), and metaphysical narrative (meaning, heroism, excellence, truth, beauty as contribution to the commons ).

The marxist sequence is a degenerate hate movement against the indo europeans, the classicals, and yhe modern.

The science of measuring relative quality of art is consistent with all other western traditions: the conquest of man and nature to transform the world into a garden by techne.

It does not matter if the common people know the technes – only that they are inpired to heroism, truth, excellence and beauty by transforming of victimhood into agency, defeating the dark forces of man nature time and ignorance through their heroism -thus the birth of tragedy, and the making of western civilization.
