Publisher's Synopsis
The mighty wave of change currently sweeping the world is leaving virtually no culture, system or institution untouched. As a result, beliefs and traditions are crumbling, and art, science and research methodology have been influenced fundamentally. Even the very foundations of Christianity are being challenged. Why is all this happening? This informative book sheds light on the origin and effects of this paradigm shift. A broad range of concepts is explained lucidly and the inquiring mind is shown how to evaluate postmodernism.
