Postmodernism is a philosophical and cultural movement that emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the dominance of modernism. It is characterized by a skepticism toward grand narratives, truth, and the stability of meaning. Postmodernism rejects the idea of objective knowledge and emphasizes the importance of context and subjectivity.
