   Whig history's another thing. It posits a glorious present where
things keep getting better all the time. Tomorrow will be better than
ever.

Sounds like what was called "liberalism" in the 1900s.

Before WWI put an end to all that nonsense.

BTW, Toynbee somewhere states that the Modern Era ended when WWI
began. So in some sense the Post-modern Era has been ongoing for over
a century. And "modernism" in (Christian) theology is not necessarily
the same as "modernism" in philosophy.
