Hanzi Freinacht is one of a number of pioneering Metamodernist thinkers as well as the Dutch art scholars Robin van den Akker and Timotheus Vermeulen who first sparked the Metamodern phenomenon with their 2010 paper Notes on Metamodernism.
In this episode we are going to look at the characteristics of this new Metamodern cultural trend. its relationship to the previous trends of Modernity and Postmodernity and why, in this world in crisis, we need Metamodernism.

I feel like summarizing this metamodernism as
- sincerity that doesn't deny difficulties
- grand narratives that don't deny edge cases and nuances
- cautious optimism without descending into either pollyannaish naivete or depressing nihilism/cynicism
What does everyone else think?

This reminds me of when I was a college student just diving into the world of philosophy wanting desperately to solve the conundrum of Modernism Vs Postmodernism. I want to synthesize some sort of new, unifying world view that would give new grand meaning to the world and positive direction to the trajectory of history. I called it “Neomodernism” and I used a venn diagram with three categories (‘objective’, ‘subjective’ and ‘meta’) to try to forge a unifying narrative. I ended up just making my own flavor of postmodernism with a "mystical positivity" heavily influenced by Soren Kierkegaard, Immanual Levinas and Quakerism. Anyone seriously trying to step beyond Postmodernism is going to have to answer to Heidegger. I do not see that addressed in "Metamodernism” so far. Every philosopher since has been a footnote to the Postmodern OG as far as I can tell. I apologize for being cynical (hahaha) but this appears to me to be more of an aesthetic project than a serious philosophical venture. BUT I would love to be proven wrong! I will keep watch and love the content.

Alright, after all this time, it turns out that I've been a metamodernist for years without knowing it. This channel is worth every minute of one's time!

Although it is generally useless, we can still entertain the idea of making up an analogy: If modernism was a solid rock and postmodernism was formless water, then it sounds like metamodernism offers a mushy mud area. So let's play in the mud within the allocated area; some will sink in it, some will make castles and have fun, yet everyone will necessarily get dirty. Eventually we'll need some water to get washed and a rock to get some rest.

I've been notocing this trend too, but I'd rather describe it as unapologetic sincerity. its definitely more freeing in terms of self expression than hiding under 10 layers of irony, which was the staple of growing up in the 2000-10's

I love this channel and thanks for posting this. This video kept popping up as a suggested video and I am glad I clicked on it. Not only is Metamodernism the most important idea you will encounter this year it may be the most hopeful idea since 1968. I used this video in two of my discussion groups and realized I had already used one of your other videos on the four quadrants in previous discussion groups. Our discussion group came to the realization that many individuals have been living in this metamodern mind space sometimes for years but it needed a name to become impactful and consequential on the social level. I see it as an emerging and converging new narrative. I have a little saying playing off the family therapy aphorism, The child doesn't need perfect mothering what they really need is good enough mothering - maybe Donald Winnicott. Culture no longer needs the one perfect grand narrative but what we really do need is good enough narrative. I would like to throw my weight and energy in support of this developing narrative, with a special emphasis on this question, "What are the educational and psychological forms and processes and curriculum that can culture or nurture or give birth to the metamodern mental space in individuals and in the larger social culture." I bet small group discussions and dialogue around content like this would be a great start.

I like that you don't dumb down things to a point where they lose substance. That picture of Liberté guidant le Peuple for example is very fitting, and you trust that it will be understood and have an impact on those that will catch it. Your choice of pictures in general allow for those who have followed a different path than yours to attach whatever their knowledge and experiences are to what you speak of. Maybe it would be good to cite the pictures in the description for those who would want to look further into the artist, person or body of work it belongs with.
Either way I am recommending you to everyone I know. Stay down to earth, but never stop what you've been doing. You make great food for thought, without a doubt.

This was fascinating. I remember about 16 years ago at university we did a lecture on the move away from post modernism to an age of super complexity. Sadly I cannot tell what the specific reader for this was...

Truly warm and insightful work as always. I can hardly express my appreciation enough!!!
What I'm hearing: Metamodernism seems to be a natural and essential bridge that accepts that it is constantly being built. Much like the philosophy of Daisaku Ikeda and Nichiren Daishonin, and very much in alignment with David Eagleman's work "The Runaway Species". The structure and optimism of Modernism has value as does the perspective and skepticism of Postmodernism. Structures are good if they allow for flexibility and accepts that we will be in a constant process of seeking. Ikeda often speaks of this when discussing how great good emerges from great challenges. Like Eagleman, we accept that there isn't a universal beauty or truth, but a constant process of adding on (80% familiarity, 20% novelty).
I'm so encouraged and eager to see what comes next!

Around 7 years ago i proposed myself to become a "philosopher". I began reading the greeks, then the medievals, to the modern... And I just knew Hegel was the pinnacle of modernism; of "progress". Then I felt the despair of wittgensteins conclusions that all philosophy is just mental masturbation. However, even though I felt the same way as Ludwig, it felt like this "masturbation" was something really important. I have been struggling philosophically the last two years, trying to find my spot in the philosophical spectrum. A need for a philosophical identity. Coming to the conclusion that THE philosophical dialogue has vomited us here, in a void that has too much resolution (post-modernism) to be useful at all. So I cling back to the big narratives, because otherwise it's spiritual, mental death. However feeling that I must lie to myself, in order to believe them.
Listening to your video I was literally in tears, because I felt I finally found my spot. And it obviously emerges from the ones who suffer the same predicaments as me. And through philosophical and emotional maturity, comes metamodernism. Thank you for teaching me this. I feel like the final pieces are being set in a bigger than life puzzle. Thanks a lot. I don't even know your name, but please know that I carry you close to the heart.

Excellent summation of transitions between the principles of modernity, postmodernism and the new metamodernism. In philosophical terms we are looking at a Hegelian Thesis (Modernism), Anti-Thesis (Postmodernism) and Synthesis (Metamodernism). As much as I welcome the idea of an end to postmodernism, I get the feeling metamodernism is not going to be a long-lived era just like its predecessor postmodernism. Postmodernism cannot exist without modernism because it is merely a critique of modernism, it is not a self-sustaining, viable new era. As modernism is being rejected and approaching and end, so will its critique which is postmodernism. Modernism is still very much around us and alive in science, engineering, architecture and technology. We are living and will be living in a very modern physical world or house if you will for a while. What the pre-modern age and the modern age had in common was the belief in a singular truth which needed to be pursued. In pre-modernity it was the truth of a monotheistic God which then turned into the rational truth of science in modernity which did not permit what it considered error. Postmodernism with its multiplicity of perspectives now arrived at nearly infinite individual truths which are too many to practically form and build a new era with. The two cannot be easily synthesized because multiple juxtae opposed truths cannot be rationalized and reduced into an elegant energy pattern. I embrace metamodernism as a departure from postmodern disharmony. But I see a reemergence of spiritual truth, integrated with intelligent, life affirming technologies, promoting positive outcomes for all, as being the next great era. It has already begun but is broadly not recognized by the secular rationale of existing modernism and the self-preoccupation of postmodernism. Both are being manipulated by political powers aiming to keep old paradigms of control in place.

Appreciate your videos. Currently working on my PhD in politics “Moral Psychology and Cosmopolitanism”. Ultimately, I look at bringing Confucianism and Stoicism together. Videos have been a nice way for me to get my thoughts going sometimes and expand my curiosity. So thanks for that!

So glad I found this channel. Going to post summary of this video (with credits ofc) on my insta blog page.

AMAZING!! I loved it! you made your points super clear and explained it all really neatly.
thank you dude!

You said something about recognizing that our fantasies our ideas of an ideal world are just ideas or something like that. This is from memory. It's when you were talking about pragmatic idealism.
It's obvious, but it's incredibly important and I didn't see that myself. So thanks.

Very happy to hear that feeling consolidated into an ideology so clearly. Fantastic video.

And better yet if we can continue to synthesise meta-modernism with understanding about the things and processes that underly / constitute the complex stuff that we have now, which is also the nature of a lot of our problems. Also add emergence and a thorough understanding of it of that, as well as utilising the advances in AI and modelling in general to allow for us to grow our knowledge/understanding about the issues as well as the complex and emergent phenomenon. I think the youth (current) is ready to take forward a new system of thinking, so there's hope that this could gain some momentum at least in the more broad/general idea of meta-modernism. It's something that's already taken root and has formed naturally out of the foundations that are society has been relying upon (which includes for a large part the modern / post-modern stuff).

Great video, particularly liked the placement of BO Burnham as an exemplar of the metamodern, 'ironic sincerity', it is an intriguing place to attempt such a project.

Whenever I encounter a new idea like this it takes a large amount of videos to get a sense of what it is...
