Perhaps in the humanism versus postmodernism context, the situation is different in that while field-related groupings generally allow for fuzzier borders and more subtle gradations, the divide between humanism and postmodernism has seemed irrevocable and un-crossable given the history of how these terms have been deployed.\n The vision of a productively hybrid postmodern humanist is not directly analogous to that of a perfectly hybrid wolf-man who blends benignly with the populace through holding in careful tension his warring impulses to behave humanely and to devour human beings on sight; however, a perfectly hybrid postmodern humanist might be equally problematic in that, as William Blake once put it, "Without Contraries is no progression" (104), and a hybrid intellectual striving to be truly human(e) by merely canceling out contraries might well end up being self-devouring.
