The search for new forms of personal expression in the era of postmodernism
The urgency of the studied problem is due to the fact that reveals one of the most popular and fashionable areas of philosophy of the XXI century - the philosophy of postmodernism, in the context of which the coronavirus discourse fits, which continues to deepen and fill with new content. Due to the huge number of problems of digital transformation of human existence, the concepts of postmodern society in the context of digitalization should be explored in order to overcome the negative consequences of coronavirus existence. The aim of the article is to conceptualize the philosophy of postmodernism, which unfolds, on the one hand, as a search for new forms of creative self-expression, and on the other, as a crisis of philosophical knowledge. The objectives of the study include the analysis of the concepts of postmodern reality, which is based on the formation of a new system of categories and concepts as a system of ways of constructing a new being - postmodernism, deconstructivism, simulacrum. This system of concepts includes a set of methods of cognition of reality - ontological-metaphysical, logical-axiological, critical-existential to understand the essence and existence of man, understanding their correlations and attributive system parameters, structure, substrate, characteristic of understanding a complex society. An ambivalent and contradictory current is represented, which has spread to many areas - politics, religion, science in search of an assessment of the cognitive capabilities of man and his place in the modern world. The materials of the article are of practical value for in-depth understanding of postmodern philosophy, which is closely related to the problems of coronavirus and post-coronavirus life. It is concluded that postmodernity is a big process of losing the sensation of history and the meaning of a person, which led to the destruction of history, a crisis of philosophical knowledge in the era of digitalization, in which the original no longer makes sense, and the model of a veiled copy prevails.
