In contemporary thought there was a dispute regarding the classification of historical times, some skeptics even warn about the arbitrariness of these classifications and the impossibility of understanding the historical process of humanity incorporating it into separate stages and differentiable. They also warn about the subjectivity and relativity of these conceptualizations, as these have changed according to the consensus among thinkers and historians and which, in our case correspond to a particular worldview and experience the world as it is Western culture.
inserting them into the Western debate are two more or less dominant positions. One says that we are dealing with modernity. The other argues that modernity has been transcended and we are in a time subsequent to this or postmodern. The first part of a definition of modernity daughter of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment and of progressive independence of state and religion. The other party denounced that modernity is a thinking child of a culture and a particular historical time. They appeal to different ways of interpreting and living the story, which they say depends in every culture, every generation or even each individual. They also say that modernity has been more an aspiration than a state particular facts. This question the modern bases such as individual freedom, the objectivity of science and thought, the possibility of creating awareness and human behavior in an independent reason for dogmas or beliefs caused them by the undeniable tradition and custom. The most radical modernity accuse not only ethnocentric, abstract, also imperialist sustaining the capitalist system.
From the modern side has played a reformulation of the first modernity, has repeatedly said that the modern self has not stopped being who seeks the truth and who accepts the reason as the highest court, why have included criticism of postmodernism from so that modernity is no longer understood as a single speech universally established, but it is the time when speeches are multiplied product of freedom and the pursuit of truth, which now means so fallible or hypothetical. It is understood that knowledge rather than having an objective basis Its foundation is a legitimate intersubjective agreement, that individual freedom and collective freedom also ends as empowerment, equal freedom and autonomy of the person were alive. Thus the modern protest define modernity as a time to begin to move beyond the dogmas and prejudices, violence and all forms of domination. Not as a time when these ideals have been achieved, as some conservatives who call themselves as modern or liberal, and as reported saying that the postmodern discourse of modernity is unreal. The currency would then be a process in which we are immersed and which builds, but has not completed its tasks.
