The term Modern Times is used by historians to loosely describe the
period of time immediately following what is known as the
Early Modern Times. It is to be distinguished from the term of
Modernity. The
Early Modern Times lasted from the end of the 15th century to the end of the 18th century, circa 1450 (moveable type printing press etc) or 1492 (start of Colonization) to 1750 (Enlightenment) or 1792 (French Revolution).Modern Times are the period from Enlightenment and the 18th century until today; the term "Late Modern" is not being used in English, albeit in other languages. The history of this time is the
Modern history.
Modernity, based on
Modernism, explores the changes of society due to the
industrial age.
Postmodernity,
Postindustrialism are theories to apply the art movement term of postmodernism (below) to social and cultural history, or to refer to the change of the industrial society during the past fifty years when the industry was no longer the most predominant basis of economy and society; the
prefix "post-" implies a reaction to modernity and in that sense does not cover all
contemporary history.
