The real answer I’m looking for is WHEN was the post modern era

Best answer:

Answer by αѕнℓєє
Postmodern philosophy is often particularly skeptical about simple binary oppositions characteristic of structuralism, emphasizing the problem of the philosopher cleanly distinguishing knowledge from ignorance, social progress from reversion, dominance from submission, and presence from absence.[1][2]

Postmodern philosophy has strong relations with the substantial literature of critical theory.

The most influential early postmodern philosophers were:
Jean Baudrillard
Jean-François Lyotard,
Jacques Derrida
Michel Foucault
