Pre modern, modern, and post modern

Dr. Durst draws an overview of western civilization as it moves through three prevailing worldviews, premodernity, modernity and postmodernity from the perspective of Christian theology.

[@globescape4771]

This makes it very clear. There are very amorphous explanations of modernism and post-modernism out there. I'm a visual learner and a visual teacher. I draw just like the professor to explain things. Thanks Rick, you're a great teacher!

[@malcolmmarzo2461]

Very clear, succinct presentation. Visuals are great clarifiers. Thank you.

[@stephenluna2997]

As a Christian Evangelical, I highly enjoyed this video! Thanks for your work!

Excellent Lecture, Im presently taking doing a Sociology module "Theorizing Modernity" through the University of South Africa and the task now seems less daunting, thank you. Very good Jobs done. Though Theological, I can still apply it to my Sociology Class. Thank you.

Türkçe alt yazısını da bulabilsek keşke Dr.Rick Durst'dan pre modern,post modern ve modern kavramlarını dinlemek/okumak ne kadar güzel olurdu. Buraya yorumu bırakayım da belki vesile olmuş olurum...

this lecture is more relevant in this contemporary pandemic era

[@suzzaneiamme77]

Wonderful 🙏

[@daveklebt7732]

the labels should be: premodern = authority based on superstition; modern = reason based on observation and verifiable facts(science); post-modern = chaos, and nothing has any meaning or truth, where verifiable facts are questioned as subjective.)

[@Convexhull210]

Your post assumes that science is our only way of knowledge and truth. That is self refuting.

[@anthonyd6555]

You're reframing the paradigm to be more in-line with your own biases against religion, which the postmodernist would than use as evidence to show that everything is actually a subjective construct ;)

[@malikwilliams2458]

That’s a good explanation

[@danielgalvez7953]

premodern: it is very true that many people were superstitious, but the thinkers back then were very into reason and verifiable facts(science) or the science behind religion and came up with moral truths. modern: it is very true that there was a change from widely religious to about half secular in this time, and science has something to do with that, but I think of it more as: the poor and uneducated forcefully trying to be included in understanding truth, and they were successful in the long run because today the majority of people are educated, not very well educated but more educated. I think you nailed post-modernism. P.S. actually in the long run maybe they were not so successful since there are many poorly educated that are secular, biased sure, but I think its true; there is more reason behind religion than meets the eye. If you don't know of Jordan Peterson he's a real smart guy who doesn't fall under a named religion but considers himself religious since he believes in God (his definition of God is pretty different, but its also great)

[@globescape4771]

I would add that the period that preceded the "pre-modern" was called the Ancient Period which was - superstitious and polytheistic. And that the Pre-modern world was Theistic;; Modern world was atheistic (humanistic); and Post Modern era - pantheistic/nihilistic

[@nicolaburkinshaw1133]

What a fabulous theory! Definitely one to ponder.

[@whiistlingwinds]

I'm not Christian anymore, but I think he did a pretty good job at explaining pre-modern and modernity, the transition to each paradigm and how arbitrary the beginning and endings to each are, but completely face-dived when talking on post-modernity. It got way too hammy and I felt completely missed the point of anything that I've read up on what postmodernism is (I've read up from its critics, supporters, etc). Also, I don't think post-modernism's start-date should be at the start of the new millennium, I get why he puts it there, I just don't agree. The late 60s or early 80s make more sense to me, the shift in a new paradigm I think fits there better but I'm still new to all this so I'm just making an educated guess lol.

[@chrisyaluyanda4937]

No matter how far you go away from God, Jesus died for you and He loves you. His grace is unending, his mercy has no boundary and his love is eternal. You are still God's child. Your Father loves you and waiting for your return.

[@noureddinelamba7621]

Excellent

[@hammadraza6143]

Very nice lecture. Although a question is bothering me here. Sir it is the primary feature if Post Modernism that acc. to it; there is no absolute facts and that all ethos of postmodernity are relativistic and individialistic. Also followers of Postmodernism have hardly been seen on a single point or around a common centre. In light of above statements, how you can say with this much surety that earth took thw centre of human ideology in this age?

[@Ezra15Shimoan]

Good content

[@syedahmedali5079]

very good lecture

[@Jamie-ro6sx]

I'm a Christian. But I actually came here not for religious reasons. More so I wanted to be educated on what the difference of all the modernisms there were. Thank you I found them enlightening. However sir you forgot to mention the fourth category which is meta-modernism.

[@deskryptic]

This is pretty good even for a conservative evangelical perspective (as a non-evangelical).

[@matijazorko5705]

Were we in the "modern" period one could state the same argument for it: "Biblically there is a connection between God and man since the man was created in gods image."

[@markkrul3429]

Good explanation...I question his discussion about God healing the land in view of the coming apocalypse which God assures us will happen...then there won't be much left of anything. I do agree though that a repentance of an entire society would bring God's blessing even on the land they occupy...but then the whole world would have to be repentant because bad consequences elsewhere can affect a good situation anywhere....and so back to my thought about the coming apocalypse.

[@FrankJWinters]

Good so far but DR Durst dosen't understand the optimism of Star Trek. It is not a dystopian mythology -- the earth has not been destroyed (that's Blade Runner) but the development of Space Travel and the interracial, inter-species crew show that brotherhood and friendship is universal.

[@saharkaz2301]

Hi senior morning

[@dorkusamericanus]

So we had a good 500 or so years of reason, and now we’re back to complete superstition and fearmongering. Cool

[@Convexhull210]

Science is not atheistic.

[@pavanhareesh7712]

how many of you are here after Sosin mam lecture

Lost all credibility at “the gospel mandate”

[@deskryptic]

Julian Walker post-modernism makes it possible to reconsider what you might call "myth".

[@whiistlingwinds]

Same. The diagram was pretty helpful at dispaying the change in time and what each new paradigm brought, but he completely got post-modernism wrong. I don't know what he was talkign about at all lmao.

[@Convexhull210]

Facts don't care about your feelings.

[@jls0037cslewis1]

Its the Jews, we baptists have failed.

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

You say the Enlightenment turned the focus to man. You don't say what the Reformation did. The Reformation also turned the focus towards man: away from Church authority and the sacraments, to man's work. The Reformation also increased scepticism about the truth, the foundation of Post-modernism, and the Reformation encouraged unrestrained capitalism which is a cause of the environmental crisis.

[@pelqel9893]

Sorry dude. You do not have a full grasp of Modernism, let alone Postmodernism. You do not know the monster in which you are professing allegiance.

[@awwadelmahadi5883]

Beautiful lecture until we got to the gibberish of "God" and his requirement of prayers to do or not do something. God is dead, mature up.

[@NormieNeko]

Society goes through cycles. Funny enough, it's accurate to state that God can be resurrected. This is happening with neo-paganism - not just New Age but reconstructive right wing groups.

[@Sachumqu]

As a Modernist, it is just a nonsense. There is no difference between Pre-Modern and Post-Modern.

[@KarlMartell732]

Hm, I would argue the societal goals changed. In pre-modern Christian times, the goal was paradise whereasin modernity it was progress in the real world. Post-modernity has no specific societal goal anymore or which is a symptom of decline.

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

Pre-modern is the opposite of Post-modern. Scholasticism refined and Christianised Platonic universals and Aristotlean metaphysics, ethics and science. Post-modernism took modernist scepticism and agnosticism/ atheism to the limit rejecting all absolute truth which ironically killed its own theory.

[@evanhadkins5532]

The difference is the fragmenting of identity. Also the sense that language can be problematic. Also pre-modern had more commitment - the kind of in principle scepticism wasn't a thing.

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

You don't make any sense- that's modernism for you.
