FWIW, I view existentialism as a re-grounding of meaning, onto "what it's like" to be human (or any thinking thing). Postmodernism is simply the realization that meaning *can* be re-grounded at will. It focuses less on fixing/fixating on humans and more on our ability to change what we're fixated on. It just so happens that humans are masters of re-grounding. So, lots of postmodern stuff ends up being about humans and how/that they re-ground.
Read this way, existentialism is completely antithetic to postmodernism. On 11/18/2017 07:53 PM, Nick Thompson wrote: > And, what is the relation between PoMo and Existentialism?
