- perl4ever 7y agoPostmodernism has been around for a long time. It appears at least some people think it's firmly historical and not contemporary...and that opinion is from almost a decade ago.
- philipov 7y agoYeah, I considered that, but I couldn't think of a new philosophical movement that's replaced it, so chose to say that we're in a late phase of postmodernmism. The important point is that modernism is firmly in the past. EDIT: Early Modernity began around 1500 and Late Modernity (allegedly) ended in 1989. I think Postmodernity still has a few years left to play out.
