Post-structuralism: a philosophical movement in the mid-20th century, featured thinkers including Derrida, Foucault, and Deleuze. It aims to question the stability of meaning and emphasize the role of narrative in shaping language and the power of language in shaping reality. It highlights the contingency and historical context of knowledge.
Exemplary post-structuralism arguments include the critique of Essentialism: it challenges the notions that put fixed and universal truths, identities, and meanings forward, as such values oversimplify complex reality and overlook the historical context in which they rise.
