Keywords:

This article explores the main ideas of postmodern philosophy and its impact on contemporary intellectual discourse. Postmodernism is analyzed as a philosophical movement that challenges classical notions of truth, reason, and universal meaning. The study highlights key concepts such as relativism, deconstruction, fragmentation of identity, and the rejection of grand narratives. It also examines how postmodern thought reshapes the understanding of knowledge, language, and reality in modern society. The findings suggest that postmodern philosophy does not provide fixed answers but instead emphasizes plurality, uncertainty, and interpretative openness.
