Contrast modernism and postmodernism.
What will be an ideal response?
Modernism is a stance that ties in to Enlightenment principles which emphasize
experience and reason as objective modes of scientific inquiry. Modernists also
believe that human behavior can be explained in terms of abstract universal laws or
principles and that reality is an immutable Truth waiting to be discovered through
science. Postmodernists reject those Enlightenment ideals, arguing instead that
“reality” and “truth” are always relative, created by individuals and groups within
various personal, historical, or cultural contexts.
