I'm not sure there is a "Postmodernism for rationalists" waiting to be written.

But maybe there are some specific topics or methods or approaches that would fall under "postmodernism" or "critical theory" or "deconstruction", and that could be interesting or useful to rationalists.

Or something like "this is how postmodernists would approach such-and-such a subject, and their analysis has some value in this case".
