Problem z „ponowoczesnością" :
The problem with „postmodernity” :

empty formal dispute or change in human existence?

Summary/Abstract: The present article poses an attempt of conceptualization the cognitive and normative basis of postmodernity. The primary aim is the demonstration that the postmodernization of the western culture recasts the fundamental parameters of social life and therefore also changes the ways of reflecting the human existence. In order to demonstrate this dependency I intend to portray modernity as a period, which tried to preserve the stabile structure of being of the Middle Ages by reproducing a centralized cultural order. Postmodern thinking tries to reach beyond metaphysically founded forms of social life and therefore attempts to decentralize the stabile structures of human existence. This is a very risky but also a very inspiring stride for the philosophical discourse, which one should – despite the awkward rhetoric of several postmodernists – appreciate as one of the most important challenges of contemporary philosophy.
