Post-Continental Philosophy

Post-Continental Philosophy refers to a group of philosophical traditions that emerged after and in response to the ideas of European Continental philosophy, like phenomenology, existentialism, and structuralism. It often emphasizes the critique of absolute truths, objective knowledge, and universal systems, focusing instead on subjectivity, power relations, language, and cultural contexts. Thinkers like Foucault, Derrida, and Deleuze explore how meaning and identity are shaped by social forces and discourse, challenging traditional ways of understanding reality. Overall, it seeks to understand the complexities of human experience, emphasizing critique, ambiguity, and the fluidity of meaning.
