I was trying to be generous because if we use the literal interpretation of postmodernism what he is saying makes no sense. Or if you can explain how the modernist/postmodernist movements relate in the context of his post I would be glad to hear your interpretation.
And my favorite simple way to define it is:
modernism - post industrial revolution enthusiasm about humanity
postmodernism - post ww2 depression about humanity
- ivalm 6y agoPostmodernism in philosophy is associated with rejection/skepticism of common narrative (eg reject absolutism in Marxism/capitalism/etc). He claims he understands the common trends (in “infoops”) and goes beyond them, which I guess is his justification for the word choice. I agree it feels more of a flex than an actual precise use of language.
