Post modernism has a wide range of fields that include art, architecture, literature, philosophy, and cultural theory. It is characterised by a rejection of narratives, a skepticism towards absolute truths, and it has a focus on the subjectivity of experience.
Postmodernism is most often seen as the reaction to modernism, a cultural and intellectual movement that had preceded it. The relationship between the two movements is quite complex, with some people considering postmodernism as a continuation or evolution of ideas from the modernist era and others viewing it as a break from modernist principles.
