noun a late-20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism that represents a departure from modernism and has at its heart a general distrust of grand theories and ideologies as well as a problematical relationship with any notion of “art.”.
What is Postmodernism and its relation/difference to modernism? I hear this terms use in debates and forums and looking at the definition above, I'm often confused with the correlation between the topics discussed and the term postmodernism at hand.
Ah so its a tool of subjective critique that the crazies have taken hold of. I personally tend to see things very objectively, even if I don't like what I'm looking for. Many people I know have this fake aire of happiness but will violently lash out at any bit of harmful connotations which are usually taken out of context.
I'm surprised as a Transcendentalist that Nietzsche was a subjectivist. I lean towards the idea that his health had a great effect on his view on the chaoticness of the universe and failed to see the order and objectivity in it. In Transcendentalism movement there is much objectivity especially if you take into consideration that many of the traditions reference the principle of cause and effect, and from these principles and others we can derive a priori knowledge on how to be in the world. From this we can derive things like individualism, property rights, and even rights in general in its true definition; an action that does not cause harm. From this we can also derive self-defence principles to maintain order in chaos.
