I studied cognitive sciences, I read shit-ton of philosophers, I wrote my bachelor thesis on philosophy of mind, but still I don’t get what exactly is postmodernism
In: Other
My overly brief take on postmodernism is that it’s the realization of the ruse of modernity, and the ideological foundations that support it (be it Aesthetic, Economic, Political, Gender, etc.).
The problem – and, to my mind, the more interesting thinkers write in this direction – is what to then do, on a practical level, to make the world more just. At some point with Postmodern and Deconstruction, you have to bring in Ethics, otherwise you’re just playing around.
