Message: [QUOTE="Zooey, post: 171710, member: 2733"] We doing metaphysics here? Truthfully I had no idea that Animal Well was steeped in so much postmodernism, but i suppose it makes sense given the times we live in. I just wouldn't agree with the premise that reality has changed, or that things that were true yesterday, are no longer true today. To me, reality is what it is, A is A. But a key feature of postmodernism is that absolute concepts such as objective reality, objective morality, and objective truth, are seen as vague and disregarded. Skepticism, cynicism are words that come to mind. You can't even trust what your senses tell you. Its a very bleak, and negative, yet quite popular view of the world that Sociologists like Simmel, Weber, and Bauman put forth. Feeling alienated? Mistrust the world around you? Problem with authority? Having difficulty finding meaning in the world? Postmodernism got you covered. [/QUOTE]
