The philosophical shift from Modernism to Postmodernism is primarily defined by the rejection of what literary concept?

💡 Explanation:

Modernism, while breaking away from 19th-century norms through fragmentation and experimentation (A, B), often still sought to create a new, unifying 'Supreme Fiction' or totalizing myth (a Grand Narrative) to provide order and meaning in a chaotic world. Postmodernism, by contrast, is characterized by a deep skepticism toward and outright rejection of these universal 'Grand Narratives' (or metanarratives) and the idea of objective truth, favoring instead multiplicity, irony, and the self-aware deconstruction of form (D).
