Post Modernism - A belief that there are no absolute
social/religious/cultural truths. Relative truths exist, but
they are only valid for a given group at a given time. Other
traditions, religions, eras, races, genders, cultures, and
groups believe/believed in other, often conflicting, truths.
All of these alternate "truths" are valid, at least to the
group that follows them. Postmodernism has been adopted by
some liberal Christians, but is regarded as a serious error
by conservative Christians. (Religious
Tolerance)
Postmodernism is a term applied to a wide-ranging set of
developments in critical theory, philosophy, architecture,
art, literature, and culture, which are generally characterized
as either emerging from, in reaction to, or superseding, modernism.
