In daily dialogues and academic debates the theory according to the contemporary civilisation is at a turning point is largely accepted. Allen assets that: we witness a huge intellectual revolution as major as the once that differentiated the modern world from the middle age. The fears of the modern world are collapsing and we enter into a post-modern world. (Allen D., 1989, p. 2)
The same idea is supported by Willimon “between 1960 and 1980 the old world collapsed and a new world emerged” (William H. Willimon, 1997, p. 30). This new civilisation is called post-modernism. Although the great majority agrees upon the fact that the roots of post–modernism are found inside the modernism, defining ‘postmodernism’ is controversial.
Keywords: modern world, post-modern world
