modernleaning
Modernleaning is a loosely defined cultural and political descriptor used to characterize individuals, movements, or artifacts that align with contemporary, forward-looking approaches while not committing to a single ideological doctrine. The term commonly implies an emphasis on technology, evidence-based policy, globalization, and secular, pluralistic values, paired with an openness to experimentation and rapid change. It distinguishes itself from traditionalism by downplaying reverence for historic forms, and from certain strands of postmodernism by maintaining a belief in progress and shared standards.
