Why did Postmodernism develop in France

>>3172968
Because parisians enforce new trends with strict brutality and Paris is inhabited by mostly spoiled and pampered faggots who diddle themeselves in café de la Femme Rouge Écoute or some gay shit to tumblr traps and modern art "museums."

the French since the Enlightenment (at least; maybe someone else knows more about medieval French intellectual culture) have always been the more impressionistic, utopian types among the three core Western/Central European philosophy powerhouses (Britain, France, Germany). their middle class was also the first to emerge basically of its own will and desire to reorganize society to accommodate their very existence, an idea that then spread globally. it makes sense that that culture would later produce an episteme based on the notion of ideas forming society in their image.

you could also assess it negatively (as in a negative image) and look at why Germans and Britons and Americans didn't. Germans were excessive empiricists after the war 'cause their idealism had led them to be out of control asshole nationalists, and the British and American middle classes were incredibly economically secure through the '50s and '60s, leaving few academics (typically drawn from the middle class) incredibly resistant to the prevailing order of things. the French middle class was incredibly culturally humiliated and economically dejected after the war.

because france is shit
