Pós-modernismo
# Pós-modernismo

O Pós-modernismo é um movimento na filosofia e crítica do final do século XX, tipicamente definido pelo ceticismo ou desconfiança de grandes narrativas, ideologias e da racionalidade iluminista.
       - For about a couple of decades I've had a very simple question that I've been posing to my postmodern friends: "Can you find something in postmodernism which is not either a triviality cloaked in polysyllables or is false?", and nobody's answered it yet.
          - Noam Chomsky, em uma entrevista de 2019 (no minuto 34:56)
       - Whether the accused in a murder trial is or is not guilty depends on the assessment of old-fashioned positivist evidence, if such evidence is available. Any innocent readers who find themselves in the dock will do well to appeal to it. It is the lawyers for the guilty ones who fall back on postmodern lines of defence.
          - Eric Hobsbawm, On History (1997), p. viii
       - Simplifying to the extreme, I define postmodern as incredulity towards metanarratives.

       - Those who say that all historical accounts are ideological constructs (which is one version of the idea that there is really no historical truth) rely on some story which must itself claim historical truth. They show that supposedly "objective" historians have tendentiously told their stories from some particular perspective; they describe, for example, the biasses that have gone into constructing various histories of the United States. Such an account, as a particular piece of history, may very well be true, but truth is a virtue that is embarrassingly unhelpful to a critic who wants not just to unmask past historians of America but to tell us that at the end of the line there is no historical truth. It is remarkable how complacent some "deconstructive" histories are about the status of the history that they deploy themselves.
