Modern philosophy seems something vast, complex, full of intimidating terms - and not without reason. Postmodernism, metamodernism, speculative realism, post-psychoanalysis… - all these movements continue scientific debates that have been held for centuries in hundreds of books and thousands of pages. However, behind every jumble of terms lie important cultural issues and live emotions that can be interpreted, felt, and understood. Professor Olesya Vitalyevna Stroyeva, Doctor of Cultural Studies, PhD in Philosophy, has created a dictionary of modern culture - for everyone who dreams of understanding current philosophy but doesn't know where to start. Amusing anecdotes about complex terms and categories, as well as author portraits of great philosophers, smoothly transition into detailed scientific explanations and lists of recommended literature on various topics. Modern culture is indeed complicated. But it is also important, interesting, and sometimes funny and absurd.
