#1 Postmodernism is a movement that has swept through the intellectual world, and its leading lights are now familiar: Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jean-François Lyotard, and Richard Rorty. They have deconstructed reason, truth, and reality because they believe that in the name of reason, truth, and reality, Western civilization has wrought dominance, oppression, and destruction.

#2 Postmodernism is a theory that states that the pain of the world is not experienced equally. The rich have their hands on the whip of power, and they use it to brutally mistreat the poor, women, and racial minorities.

#3 Postmodernism is a philosophical and cultural movement that began in the 1960s. It is characterized by the rejection of traditional views of reality, language, and knowledge. It is inspired by the philosophies of Marxism and deconstruction.
