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
It’s just a reaction to modernism.
Modernism was a strive towards objective truths and absolutes.
Post-Modernism is the belief that not everything can be best understood using that framework.
It’s also a shift in epistemological thinking. Traditional (think religion) and Modernist (think science) views only took from that single source.
Post-Modernism is an epistemological pluralism, meaning we’re now taking from both sides.
