Modern society is based around beliefs in science, progress, an objective and independent reality, the individual, and so forth. Postmodernism in turn means “that which comes after modern society”. So in order to alleviate this inconvenience I’ll attempt to clarify the distinction, how I use the term and why you should bother.Īs the word is used by scholars nowadays, the basic premise of metamodernism is that it comes after and completes an earlier cultural phase, called postmodernism. And since there’re other interpretations and uses of the term “metamodernism”, mostly in terms of a cultural phase, which diverge significantly from how I use it to describe a developmental stage, a philosophical paradigm – and – perhaps most importantly, a political ideology because of that there seems to be a great deal of confusion about the term. However, to some it may still be rather unclear what exactly the difference between postmodernism and metamodernism is. I have introduced the notion of the metamodern aristocracy, proposed what’s going to be the meta-ideology of metamodern society, showed how we have progressed from pre-modern to metamodern thinking throughout history, and in series of posts presented the metamodern stance towards life, its view of science, reality, existence, society and the human being (you can read the first one here). ![]() Lately I have written a great deal about metamodernism which is the overall philosophical school of thought this blog and my books are devoted to. ![]()
