The Philosophy of Postmodernism, Its Scholars and Its Impact on Art

چکیده مقاله

Postmodernism is one of the most significant cultural, philosophical, artistic movements of our contemporary era. Proponents of postmodernity symbolically date its birth with the riots in Paris in May 1968 (Barrett, 1997). For the past two decades, the postmodern debates dominated the cultural and intellectual scene in many fields throughout the world. In aesthetic and cultural theory, polemics emerged over whether modernism in the arts was or was not dead and what sort of postmodern art was succeeding it. A set of complicated ideas, which in reaction to Modernism and under the influence of the enlightenment after the Second World War, came into existence in the second half of the twentieth century and is still in expansion. Postmodernism is indicating a cultural, philosophical, artistic school which lacks any central hierarchy with distinctive structured principle and also covering excessive complexity, contradiction, obscurity, irony, intermingling, diversity, and lack of internal solidarity and in overall view contradicted modern philosophy and aesthetic.
