Based on the origin of the word, Post-modern-ism, derived from English which means understand (ism), which developed after (post) modern. Post modernism (postmo) is a movement to fight, even reject the mainstream of modernism, some consider it to be anti-modernism and anti-positivism.
Postmodern as Philosophy
Postmodern philosophy first appeared in France around the 1970s, especially when Jean Francois Lyotard wrote his thoughts about the legitimacy conditions of the postmodern era, where the great narratives of the modern world (such as rationalism, capitalism and communism) cannot be sustained anymore.
As explained above, it was originally born from criticism of modern architecture, and we must admit that the word postmodern itself appears as part of modernity. When postmodern begins to enter the realm of philosophy, postmodern is not intended as a period or time, but rather a concept that wants to go beyond all modern things.
The concept of postmodernity which is often abbreviated as postmodern is a critique of the reality of modernity which is considered to have failed in continuing its enlightenment project. The main breath of postmodernism is the rejection of the great narratives that emerge in the modern world by being single to the glorification of the mind and starting to make room for small, local, scattered, and diverse narratives to speak and manifest themselves.
C.S. Lewis when he said, when clarifying Nietzsche sche's view "My good is my good, and your good is your good" (my goodness is my kindness, and your kindness is your kindness), or if the Jakarta people say, "I am me, you are you" . So here there are no absolute standards about right or wrong in postmodern. Maybe you have also heard people say "Maybe that's true for you, but not for me" or "That's what you feel is right." Truth, for the postmodern generation is relative, not absolute.
