The Future of Metamodernism

Abstract

This paper provides a critical examination of Jason Josephson Storm’s Metamodernism: The Future of Theory (2021). While endorsing many of Storm’s positions, I pose a series of questions on several of his ideas. These include clarifications on possible applications of his theory, the various ways in which it makes claims on the study of religion, and, last but not least, questions about the author’s interesting proposal for a critical virtue ethics, which I endorse, albeit with some reservations.
