Definition: Postclassicism is a philosophical and political movement that emerged in the late 19th century. It was characterized by an emphasis on individualism, self-reliance, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment rather than adherence to societal norms or expectations. The philosophy of postclassicism often focused on the idea that individuals have the right to make their own choices and pursue their own goals, regardless of what society expects or demands. It also stressed the importance of critical thinking, skepticism towards authority, and
