Alogisms vs. logic inthe “post” and classics controversy

Abstract

Understanding the collisions of the fundamental dimensions of classical history is not relevant for postmodernism, since postmodernism does not reflect itself in the aspect of fundamentality. As a period of objective and subjective reality finally torn apart into fragments, postmodernity appears as the final deformation of the world history. And, according to Karl Rosenkrantz, such a deformation descends into absurdity, accompanied by the reign of evil, madness and crime. Therefore, postmodernism is not a special direction or period in the development of art — it is an artificially formed period of the crazy political economy of history. This unconscious basic feature of postmodernity causes the disintegration of the entire “ensemble” of modes of social structure, it starts in the components of material production and forms of social consciousness and ends in with what should be considered as the initial attribute of historical life — the essence of man. The article presents defining counterpoints of the classical formation of history and postmodern reality in their categorical meaning
