Finding Post-Modernism

Finding Post-Modernism by Abraham Jacob explores the intellectual developments that gave rise to postmodernism by examining the intersections of philosophy, science, art and culture.

Drawing connections between philosophical movements, artistic expression and contemporary developments such as feminism and artificial intelligence, the book presents an accessible overview of the ideas that shaped postmodern thought. It is intended for readers interested in the evolution of modern intellectual history and its continuing influence on today's world.
