Postmodernism Debate Guide

From PhiloWiki

Postmodernism is a term describing a wide-ranging change in thinking beginning in the early 20th century. Although a difficult term to pin down, "postmodern" generally refers to the criticism of absolute truths or identities and "grand narratives." Perhaps the best way to think about postmodernism is to look at modernism, because postmodernism is generally characterized as either emerging from, or in reaction to it. Postmodernism has had large implications in philosophy, art, critical theory, architecture, literature, history, and culture. The adjective postmodern (in slang abbreviated to pomo) can refer to aspects of either postmodernism or postmodernity.
