From Postmodernism to Metamodernism
This chapter examines the evolution of postmodern thought and its influence on the humanities and social sciences, highlighting its contradictions and the need for a new systematic philosophy called metamodernism. It explores the interconnectedness of artistic movements and philosophical ideas, tracing the lineage from modernism to postmodernism, and reflecting on how cultural and intellectual shifts from the 1970s to the early 2000s have shaped contemporary discourse. Additionally, the chapter critiques linguistic challenges in philosophy and advocates for a more nuanced understanding of language through a materialist perspective.
