TO THE GENESIS OF METAMODERNISM

Abstract

The article is devoted to the genesis of a new worldview – a methodological trend in the modern cultural space. This issue is quite actual due to the fact that just in continental philosophy there are quite a lot of different philosophical schools of thought, starting with hermeneutics and phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism and critical theory and ending with postmodernism and various variations of Marxism. According to philosophical temporal standards, quite recently, a manifesto has come out, declaring a new era in interpretations of sociocultural reality and itself as a saving circle for confused representatives of this reality. With a sufficiently short period of existence, a new world outlook has been called by a variety of names, which do not always clarify its ideological claims. Today, the following names are in use: post-postmodernism, digital modernism, pseudo-modernism and metamodernism. The notion of post-postmodernism can be considered generic in the series listed above, as phonetically it can suggest some kind of consistency, because the prefix post- at least can explain something.

It should be noted that we can witness the formation of a new, yet insufficiently substantiated school of thought. This trend is determined primarily by a special form of reality, which is characterized as an alternative. It is the participation of the world community in the genesis of the formalization of this trend that makes this topic interesting.
