Abstract

     It is apparent from Eagleton's critique of Postmodernism that he criticized the features of the postmodern enterprise less than criticizing the postmodern enhancement of ‘the system', that is the late Capitalism. Therefore, it is explicitly a critique of the late Capitalism that implies a proposition of another system, may be a new justification which requires a re-consideration of the Marxist project. Ironically enough, despite being the foremost Marxist critic who is explicitly opposed to Postmodernism, Eagleton makes use of some of the postmodern techniques in some of his works in order to redirect the attention to the Marxist enterprise. As a matter of fact, he uses the postmodern techniques only to deconstruct them. As a true Marxist theorist and critic, Eagleton uses and abuses the postmodernist trajectory. Hence, not only does he attack Postmodernism from outside as a sincere Marxist, but he also abuses it from inside under the cloak of a postmodernist writer.
