'''Hypermodernity''' (or '''supermodernity''') is a type, mode, or stage of [[society]] that reflects an inversion of [[modernity]]. Hypermodernism stipulates a world in which the [[object (philosophy)|object]] has been replaced by its own attributes.  The new attribute-driven world is driven by the rise of [[technology]] and aspires to a [[Actor–network theory|convergence between technology and biology and more importantly information and matter]].  Hypermodernism finds its validation in [[Technocentrism|emphasis on the value of new technology]] to overcome natural limitations. It rejects [[essentialism]] and instead favours [[postmodernism]]. In hypermodernism the function of an object has its reference point in the form of an object rather than function being the reference point for form.  In other words, it describes an epoch in which [[teleology|teleological]] [[lebensphilosophie|meaning]] is reversed from the [[standpoint theory|standpoint]] of [[Functionalism (architecture)|functionalism]] in favor of [[social constructivism|constructivism]].
