Postmodernism is a theoretical movement it is said to be one of the most “unstable” terms within philosophy because of how much the usage of the term varies. Postmodernism is anti-foundationalist; this means that it rejects the scientific truths which make sense of society, history and science. It is concerned with aesthetics; it has had an influence on many aesthetic elements of culture such as architecture, literature, music, art and design.
Postmodernism is a response to Modernism which was a movement within culture and the arts which questioned traditional ways of thinking and traditional forms of art and music etc. it also rejected established and accepted philosophies.
Post-modernism then is constantly focused on the future, post-modern art takes traditional ideas and uses contemporary methods or vice versa to create a piece of art. Post-modern music may bring back an old genre but make significant changes to make it more interesting and accepted in today’s society. The idea is that there is no one objective truth but we are each free to determine our own after considering the facts and interpreting ideas.
