“The postmodern condition is characterized by the co-existence of a multiplicity of heterogeneous discourses — a state of affairs assessed differently by different parties. Those who have a nostalgia for a unifying metanarrative — a dream central to the history of Western metaphysics — experience the postmodern condition as fragmented, full of anarchy and therefore ultimately meaningless. It leaves them with a feeling of vertigo. On the other hand, those who embrace postmodernism find it challenging, exciting and full of uncharted spaces. It fills them with a sense of adventure”
