philosophy and beliefs have been brought up by philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, but they will subtly write off their questions and criticisms, choosing to ignore them. One would argue that Post-Modernism in itself has a grand narrative uniting itself. That grand narrative would be the assumption that everything is subjective and changing. This is why Post-Modernism is not the end of literature or philosophy. It contradicts itself to the very essence of its own philosophy. It is united by a grand narrative, yet rejects them, it speaks subjectivity is objective, yet rejects objectivity. The contradiction is apparent, and is the culprit for why the Post-Modernist challenge is faulted, and the Post-Modernist philosophy is doom to failure, but will still repeat itself throughout the History of Philosophy and Literature, as it has done in the past, and will do in the future. This is why Post-Modernism is not an end to literature or philosophy, but a re-evaluation or different angle.
