Practical implications of 'postmodern philosophy'
Savić Mile V. (Institut za filozofiju i društvenu teoriju, Beograd)
The article examines the implications of the discourse about postmodernity. Postmodernity is analyzed as a complex discursive figure. Within the discourse about postmodernity three levels are distinguished: the postmodern condition, postmodernism, and reflection of the postmodern condition. Special attention is paid to globalization and the problem of the enforcement of modern projects in East-European societies, particularly Serbia. These societies are termed object-societies, while their modification of modernity is called eastmodernity. The author's answer to the complexity of the postmodern condition is a conception of the politics of subsistence.
Keywords: postmodernity, eastmodernity, object-society, globalization politics of subsistence.
