Explaining postmodernism. Hicks S.

A provocative explanation of why postmodernism was the most energetic intellectual movement of the 20th century. The philosopher Stephen Hicks explores European thought from Rousseau to Foucault in order to trace the path of relativistic ideas from their origin to the climax in the second half of the last century. “Explaining postmodernism” is a polemic story that gives a fresh look at the debate of political correctness, multiculturalism and the future of liberal democracy, and also tells us how progressive left -wing, looking into the future with optimism, has turned into apologists of anti -reference and cynicism, and why Their influence is still great among modern philosophers.
