Talk:Neomodernism

My only source is Sloan, D. Jason, Theological incorrectness (OUP New York, 2004, ISBN 0-19-516926-3), pages 41-45, and I have simply summarised Sloan's account, which see. m.e. 10:11, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

My "neomodernist manifesto" of 2004
Prof. Carlos Escudé - I first referred to 'neomodernism' in my 2003-2004 Ashley Lecture, delivered at Trent University (Canada) on March 22, 2004. It was styled "A Neomodernist Manifesto". Afterwards, I have used the concept in a few publications, in Spanish. The contradiction between human rights and relativism was coined through the following conflicting axioms, with which I launched my 2004 "manifesto": "If all cultures are morally equivalent, then all human individuals are not essentially endowed with the same human rights, because some cultures award some men more rights than are allotted to other men and women. If, on the other hand, all men and women are endowed with the same human rights, then all cultures are not morally equivalent, because cultures that acknowledge that 'all men are created equal' are ethically superior to those that do not." My use of ‘neomodernism’ as a philosophical doctrine has been more than sporadic.

Catherine Brydges
Who is the highly regarded neomodernist scholar, Catherine Brydges, referred to in the introductory paragraph? A Google news, scholar, and book search does not seem to produce any results relating to a person associated with neomoderism. The lack of verifiable sources for both the quote and the individual seems to fail WP:BIO and WP:V. If no one knows or if the quote can't be verified, I would propose removing it from the article.
