Defining and Discovering Philosophical Postmodernism

The provided text is an excerpt from a philosophical blog post titled "Discovering Postmodernism" that seeks to define and clarify the often-nebulous term of postmodernism from the perspective of a self-identified proponent. The author challenges common misrepresentations of postmodernism, particularly those advanced by critics who use it as a pejorative to dismiss various unconventional ideologies like feminism and Marxism. Through a series of questions, the discussion explores the core definition of postmodernism—simplifying it to "incredulity toward meta-narratives"—and asserts that the philosophy is fundamentally disintegrative rather than constructive. The post also differentiates philosophical postmodernism from postmodernity (a cultural period) and addresses criticisms regarding the alleged denial of Truth by postmodern thinkers, arguing they are more suspicious of truth claims tied to power.https://philosophics.blog/2021/01/25/discovering-postmodernism/
