Eli5: What is modernism and post-modernism?
In: 81
Modernism: By focusing efforts on science, reason, logic, and industry, we can solve problems, become a great society, and find the truth!
Postmodernism: There is no such thing as “truth”, only each person’s experience and understanding. Therefore there are societies which are great for some, but none can be great for everybody. Problems all depend on who is experiencing them – climate change will be devastating, particularly for humans, but there are also some species which will adapt and benefit from the change.
