Is the Modern Religion making a name for itself? Metamodernism

I’ve been hearing that metamodernism is the next stage in the march of history toward progress. Metamodernism will synthesise modernism and …

Can Metamodernism Sublate Modernism and Postmodernism?

—– Thanks Philosophics! Great post.

The title of my Repost is a little tongue in cheek, but not really if you have been following my blog.

I suggest that Modernism and Post-modernism define the Modern Religion.

The simplest explanation that accounts for all the facts is my approach. As a loose generality:

Modernity is definition.

Post modernity is deconstruction.

Of course there is more to them, but I think those two definitions, ironically, define the religion: through the definition I find ways that the definition is not sufficient. Thats it. Im not sure how any knowledge that we can call knowledge is not ordained and presented in that way.

Then: There is no more to a category of knowing and activity than those aspects. Together they constitute the Modern Being: identity and its concordat nothingness.

People just gotta do something to make a living. Meta modernity is it for intellectualism now, I guess.xxx

    Thanks for the link, Lance.

    I feel your title is spot on. My feeling is that Modernism envelops Enlightenment thinking, rejecting Premodern metaphysics; Postmodernism doesn’t reject both, but it questions and deconstructs both; Metamodernism seems to want to restore order and synthesise Modernism and Premodernism whilst claiming to sublate Modernism and Postmodernism and package it as a new religion.

    I long ago dubbed once and future modernism “post*modernism” where “*” is the Kleene star of formal language theory.
