Anti-Modernism

Anti-modernism is a philosophical stance that critiques or opposes certain aspects of modern life, particularly those associated with industrialization, technology, and urbanization. Proponents often believe that modern society has led to alienation, loss of tradition, and environmental degradation. They may advocate for a return to simpler, more community-oriented ways of living, valuing cultural heritage and human connections over material progress. Anti-modernism can be found in various movements, including some forms of art, literature, and political thought, which seek to promote alternative values and practices that challenge the assumptions of modernity.
