==Premodern worldview==
In the premodern era, truth was derived from knowledge and the maintenance of authority (as well as the belief in a god or gods depending on personal religious preferences). The state of human life is seen as unchanging, and social order was loosely enforced in opposition to the social strata of modern culture where people have very little means to make sense of the world around them, and moderns, and especially postmodern society explains the world they lived in largely through story rooted in.
