Preferred term

singularity  

Definition

  • Singularity is a concept usually identified with postmodern, poststructural, early Frankfurt School, or vaguely continental approaches to philosophy and political theory. It is difficult to identify any core meaning of the concept, or even a family resemblance among its meanings, as the term has been used by such a wide range of thinkers, drawing on different traditions, in different contexts, to address distinct dilemmas.
