Filozofia na areopagu idei, czyli postmodernizm i jego obecność we współczesnej kulturze i sztuce

Abstract

Postmodernism as a cultural movement has a two bound-together levels. First, we have life style, human mentality, and all that is characteristic of the present age. The second level exhibits a theory which draws on a different kind of science: thus, we speak about postmodern philosophical theories, and esthetic, pedagogic, and even musicological postmodernism. In this an article, I try to show postmodernism in a two levels. This discussion will focus on four points: first, we show the genesis of postmodernism and it connections with different philosophical conceptions. Next, we present the relationship between postmodernism and modernism. The main idea is in part three. Finally, we discuss the presence of postmodernism in culture and art. Man is surrounded by the postmodern idea. All levels of his life are completely determined by it. This prompts our interest in this topic. Postmodernism seems to be a part of European culture. It seems to be a revolution in the rules which are known as eternal. It is not a mistake that we find postmodernism in cultures with serious civilization crises. The human being is always a creature who views his life and world in categories, and whether he identifies with them or not. Today, as we have shown earlier, a person can feel lost as civilization confronts cultural change and the present system’s way of thinking; models of training are making without description what is good and what is bad. In this situation, postmodernism confronts all levels of human life, making this fact much more important. All these things show the special and very realistic challenges for the Church, which has written in his nature. We can find so many things, which can be points in the Church’s work, studies, doctrines, and needs. The problem of postmodernism has to be completely addressed and understood to make everything better for man and the Church.
