Postmodernism is an idealist movement associated with neoliberalism that rejects historical truth and science. It sees all ideas as equally viable even if they are not based in material reality[1] and completely rejects the existence of progress.[2] Postmodernists reject any theory that attempts to explain all of human history, including Marxism. Major postmodernist theorists include Jacques Derrida and Michael Foucault.[3]
Postmodernism is a crude form of Kant's dualism, which combined rationalism and empiricism. It denies any universal system of rational thought but also believes humans cannot understand reality because they have subjective viewpoints.[2]
CIA support
The CIA spent millions of dollars promoting postmodernist groups including museums, theoretical magazines, and cultural fronts.[3]
