But it has been only during the later decades of the modern era — during that time interval that might fairly be called the post-modern era — that this mechanistic conception of things has begun seriously to affect the current system of knowledge and belief; and it has not hitherto seriously taken effect except in technology and in the material sciences. [Thorstein Veblen, "The Vested Interests and the Common Man," 1919]
然而，仅在现代时代的后几十年内，即在可以公正地称之为后现代时代的时间间隔内，这种机械化的事物观念才开始严重影响当前的知识和信仰体系。并且，直到技术和物质科学领域，它才真正产生了严重的影响。 [索斯坦·维布伦，《既得利益和普通人》，1919年]
