What is the Age of Englightenment? What is the post engligthenment era? Which era are we living in? After modernism came post modernism, but post modernism doesn't really explain the era we are in. That's when Metamodernism was born, it's not neither/nor cynical POV like the post modernism, but a neither/both hopeful POV where we hold space for our paradoxical and contradictory living.
