Postmodern Philosophy Beyond Certainty: Language, Power, and Meaning in a Fragmented World - Tapa blanda

Postmodern Philosophy Beyond Certainty (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What happens when philosophy stops promising certainty? Postmodern Philosophy Beyond Certainty: Language, Power, and Meaning in a Fragmented World offers a clear, engaging account of the thinkers and ideas that transformed modern intellectual life. Beginning with the cracks that appeared in Enlightenment confidence, it traces how philosophers such as Nietzsche, Freud, Saussure, Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard, Baudrillard, Butler, Crenshaw, Said, and Habermas challenged familiar assumptions about truth, language, identity, progress, and power. The book explains complex concepts without reducing them to slogans. It explores deconstruction, discourse, genealogy, normalization, gender performativity, intersectionality, Orientalism, simulacra, hyperreality, and the distrust of grand narratives. It also distinguishes postmodernism from poststructuralism and deconstruction, while examining proposed successors such as metamodernism, remodernism, posthumanism, and post-postmodernism. Postmodern thought is taken seriously without being treated as sacred. Its strongest insights are presented alongside the objections they provoke: Does criticism of absolute truth lead to relativism? Can suspicion become politically sterile? If identities and institutions are historically constructed, how can people still make responsible judgments or act together? This item is printed on demand.
