The thesis that we live in postmodern era is discussed in critical way, giving emphasis to this affirmation in social though, mainly because that expression is comprehensible that do not have the force and the intensity of philosophical concept, and it will finish empties of sense. One of its first uses is highlighted in the field of the philosophy, it was done by Lyotard, it gave to itself as an adjective and not as a noun, which does a significant difference. Besides the debate on the end or not of the modernity, it is chosen for the notion of hypermodernity, proposed by Lipovetsky, as form of characterization of the contemporary world, it is seeking to understand its implications. On the other hand, the author recognizes the important contributions of the thesis which affirm the postmodern era mainly into its epistemological and political aspects, in the measure that the analysis data spread out the focus of analysis. the present debate is characterized as a tension between two images of the thought that are not absolutely new, but they acquire special relevancy in the contemporaneousness, defending that we must assume this tension, from that one that it presents of creative possibility that does not paralyze the thought.
