This introductory article presents different author’s descriptions of Postmodernity with the purpose of determining its constitutive traits. The varied panorama of current opinions suggests focusing on the underlying inspiration of this historical period and its philosophical foundations. Postmodernity does not reject the basic inspirations of modernity, but rather exasperates them, taking them to its ultimate consequences. Instead of a project or positive thesis, postmodernity is formed by a conglomerate of negations, by a conscience of the nonsensicality of the being and of history.
