Post Modernism OR Post-Post Modernism

Jean Fracois Lyotard said that post-modernism culture began to develop in the end of the 1950s although the rate of development and the stage reached vary between and within countries. Lyotard believed in narratives that help to convey the rules on which social order is based; they play a key role in socialization. Lyotard argues that science is unable to rid itself entirely of narrative knowledge. I add because it holds its believing system. Therefore science rest on metanarratives-naratives that give meaning to other narratives. Metanarratives is the sense of purpose to social life, to scientific endeavour.

In the Post Modern era the search for truth that is absolute is abandoned as denotative language games that is culture fall disrepute. Thus fragments are into a multiplicity of different language-games (In Lyotard's works, the term 'language games', sometimes also called 'phrase regimens', denotes the multiplicity of communities of meaning, the innumerable and incommensurable separate systems in which meanings are produced and rules for their circulation are created). Are specific to particular area as diversity increase due to perceptual truth Edward De Bono in this sense is a post-modern as this denotative language games are replaced by technical language-games. Statements are judged not there are true, but by whether they are useful and efficient or not. Emphasis shifts from the ultimate ends of human activity, towards the technical means through which things can be achieved. In Universities, for example, researchers ask what use something is rather than whether it is true thus researchers becomes geared to productive knowledge.

Post Modernism offers the possibility of tolerance and creative diversity, in which humans are not corrupted by some doctrine metanarative Sociology Themes and Perspective 7th Edition Haralambos and Holborn Even thou we are moving to post-post modernism in that direction. Post Modernism thus was the bridge for what will clear us to a post-post modernism which is developing in this Absurd reality.
