The Postmodern Turn

The Postmodern Turn is a shift in thinking that emerged in the mid-20th century, challenging the ideas of objective truth, universal narratives, and fixed meanings. It emphasizes that knowledge, identity, and reality are socially constructed, fluid, and influenced by cultural contexts. Instead of viewing history, science, or morality as absolute, postmodern thought highlights ambiguity, multiple perspectives, and the importance of language and power in shaping what we believe to be true. This approach has influenced fields like art, philosophy, and social sciences, encouraging a more nuanced understanding of human experience and questioning traditional authority and certainty.
