Postmodernism is at once a critique, a philosophy, and a set of practices developed during the late twentieth century, derived from the fields of sociology, linguistics, and philosophy. Postmodernism (“post” implying after modernism) emerged after World War II as a countervailing theory to the prevailing assumptions and aesthetics coming out of the eighteenth‐century Enlightenment and scientific revolution, with its emphasis on rationalism and empiricism
