Abstract The text exposes modernity as a way of thinking, rather than a time, and as it has developed at different times in history. Thus, modernity gives rise to characters who transformed or renewed their time. Beyond the issues that have happened in history, modernity has brought with it a particular way of relating to the world. For this reason, the text comes to regard the postmodern as incapable of relating their imaginary with the creators and promoted their ideas determined people.
