I'm glad you asked that question. A suggested answer can be found in my
latest book, THEORY AND ITS DISCONTENTS, Geelong, Australia: Deakin
University Press (ISBN: 0 949823 65 1), just published. The short answer:

the Dominant in both scientific and humanities discourses for the next 50
years. Sorry if that's a bit... compressed. It's unpacked in the book.
