SKSJ 1023 Pengantar Teori Politik: Teori Pasca-Moden (Post-Modernism)

Post-modernism is a skeptical attitude that rejects attempts to build universal theories about social phenomena. It emerged after modernism and questions modern epistemology. Post-modern thinkers like Derrida, Foucault, and Said use deconstruction to question Western perspectives and norms. They believe identities are socially constructed and what is considered "truth" can differ across cultures. Post-modernism aims to expose the constructed nature of universal identities and produces paradoxes by questioning concepts like reason and evidence.
