Does studying the History & Humanities in depth always lead

>always lead to a hatred of modernity
Only if you are stupid enough to get memed on like a pleb.

It sometimes leads to an understanding of societies in relation to each other.

And sometimes it makes people think some other society, or their own, is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Not to be a relativist, but it puts things in perspective. I no longer find technology and economic growth are not the most important things. I can appreciate societies that find fulfilment in other ways of life now. Another challenge is not to romanticize them though.

I enjoy Mircea Eliade very much. He is one of those people that helped me change my views of so called primitive societies.

I like to think that I have a greater appreciation of modern luxuries, but I still take them for granted.

I do value the internet though, I think it is nice people from so far away can communicate.

As far as modernity, no. I hate normies, not the tech that distracts them. I hate them because they don't use tech to learn more about SOMETHING.

It made me hate postmodernism, not modernism.

It made me dislike most of my female peers because the majority of them don't know shit but are still given passes where I believe I wouldn't be.

Ironically Emil Cioran did the same for me. Or at least made me start wondering along those lines. Once I found Eliade (through Cioran) I was pretty open to him.

Not necessarily a hatred, but certainly a breakdown of the notion that we're the pinnacle of the human experience.

How you relate to that depends on your character.

It makes u realize how people r different and have different purposes and serve In different ways and who u are as a person and what u love and are good at and can relate to and how people are equal and the same but at the same time different and unique and together makes the world go round

>>1649129
yes, because if you have a base knowledge of humanities you know who is adorno and his works make you feel like an alien

What he says. Modernity's cool in my book. post-modernism is just the worst.
I really like older societies and think we can learn a lot from them, but they were still human and flawed.

incoherent New Age garbage

>>1650823
sorry, postmodernity is a lie.

what does it mean? is it "post" because is after?
then modernity is postfeudalism

i stick with solid modernity and light modernity

>>1651155
That will get you a BA here at in Aus

>>1649129
some people study because of innitial distortions giving rise to misanthropic sentiment that turns a user to seek its causative beginning in reference to its determinative end

That's just its name.

Romanticism could have been called post-neo-classicism and it wouldn't have changed anything.

>>1651292

yes it would. if i think about postneoclassicism i think about not only something coming after neoclassicism, but also linked to it.
by the way your example is nonsense because we are talking about two movements of the same period, not two separated and consequential historical moments.
this thing is crucial, because it is about giving a name (and a meaning) to a period. it is storiographical interpretation
