Many think of things differently today then that of 30 years ago. People choose to believe something as their truth because it works for them. As a result reason, logic and science has been pushed aside. It is difficult to define postmodernism because philosophers and individual’s alike want to believe what they want to believe, no questions asked.
French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard defined postmodernism as incredulity (disbelief) to all metanarratives. He had a skeptical attitude towards all claims of absolute truths. These big stories he spoke of are open to interpretation resulting in a never-ending cycle of suspicions to truth claims.
Many say that postmodernists create their own truths. They are stuck in this mindset and end up creating their own reality. All that matters to them is their perspective on things and believe they know the meaning to life. Regardless of what you believe, we must all agree to disagree because this is a topic that as strong-minded individuals will never agree upon one truth.
