Postnormal times

Postnormal times is a concept introduced by philosopher Ziauddin Sardar to describe a period characterized by uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change, often as a result of advancements in technology, globalization, and shifting societal norms. The term suggests that traditional ways of thinking and understanding the world are no longer adequate for navigating contemporary challenges. In postnormal times, factors such as unpredictability and the inadequacy of existing models influence decision-making processes.
