Abstract
The question of modernity and postmodernity is one of the most
important topics that has aroused great interest and widespread debate
in various fields of human thought in general, and in literary criticism in
particular. In examining the trajectory of modernity and postmodernity
in Western philosophical and literary thought, one can observe
significant contradictions and differences between them. It would seem
that postmodernity has emerged to negate and replace modernity. But

It serves as a servant of Western thought, reinforcing its centrality and power.
