Reformist ideas of french philosophy: late twentieth to early twenty-first century

Abstract

This paper analyzes the main reformist ideas of French thinkers of the postmodern era and their influence on the world's philosophical paradigm, as well as compares the philosophical principles of modernism and postmodernism. The author emphasizes that philosophy has emerged in a new image, its purpose and tasks have acquired a deeper meaning in the information society. The study presents the theoretical foundations of the inception and rethinking of the rhizomatic concept of the world and demonstrates the irreversible connection between modernism and postmodernism. The concept of “postmodernity” excites and attracts researchers in various fields of science. According to Scott Lesh: “everyone has something to say about postmodernity. Everyone has an opinion on this issue and everyone has already become an expert in this field. And even if the very question of “postmodernism” is completely settled, its questions and problems will remain in the center of attention for some time to come” (S. Lesh, Sociology of Postmodernity)
