What is PoMo?

Postmodernism, Postmodernity, PostModern Philosophy

The instability of your question leaves me with several contradictorily layered responses whose
interconnectivity cannot express the logocentric coherency you seek. I can only say that reality
is more uneven and its (mis)representations more untrustworthy than we have time here to
explore.

PostModern Philosophy is practically the game of negating all the philosophies which originated before it (classical, romantic, modern). This
movement began through Nietzche, Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger, who implanted the ideas of the separation between the “I” and that which
exists. All becomes perception and everything is a mis-reading.
