Abstract

In this paper, I reflect on the intertwined, shifting relationship among modernity, postmodernity, and liquid modernity by drawing from texts on philosophy, sociology, and theology. I present and argue three statements: 1) postmodernity is at once a rupture and continuity of modernity, 2) postmodernity is an epoch bridging the shift of society’s conditions from solid to liquid form, and 3) liquid modernity characteristics overlap with hypermodernity rather than postmodernity. Within the consideration devoted to these statements, I posit that modernity is a concept that has an outstanding potential to perpetuate by relentlessly resurrecting itself under different forms.
