Post-postmodernism?
I was doing some research on the ideas that would describe postmodernism, and (maybe this isn’t new to you), but read that some are believing that post-modernism is on its way out, and being replaced by post-postmodernism, or “post-secularism.” This is from Wikipedia.org (maybe not the most academic encyclopedia, but it has it’s finger on culture’s pulse):
“In a book on City as landscape: a post-postmodern view of design and planning (E&F Spon, 1986], Tom Turner argues that:
The modernist age, of ‘one way, one truth, one city’, is dead and gone. The postmodernist age of ‘anything goes’ is on the way out. Reason can take us a long way, but it has limits. Let us embrace post-postmodernism?and pray for a better name.
On that note, one young scholar, Ryan Sorba, has an interesting alternative name for post-post modernism. The young author calls it ‘post-secularism.’
Mikhail Epstein also argues that ‘Post-postmodernism witnesses the re-birth of utopia after its own death, after its subjection to postmodernism’s severe scepticism, relativism and its anti-utopian consciousness’.
Post-postmodernism has also been described as renewed faith.”
I’ve been discussing post-modernism with some people, especially in regards to church, and thought this was pretty interesting, I wonder if it is accurate!
