Postmodern affirmation of fragmentation depends on abandoning autonomy ideals

Evidence

The resulting state of affairs only appears problematic or even worthy of lament as long as one believes that the normative project of modernity must be sustained. An abandonment of the ideal of autonomy and the connected claim to shape and control circumstances thus opens up the possibility of a positive relationship to the autonomization of the modernization process and the new modes of time experience, something that is expressed in the affirmative stance toward acceleration in philosophies of postmodernity. — Hartmut Rosa, Social Acceleration, 785
