Abstract
Postnormal times (PNT) have been characterised by complexity, chaos and contradictions. But PNT theory has come under criticism for (allegedly) suggesting that 'the world has entered an Omega phase', using Alliterative Logic, and being western in nature. This paper answers some of the critics of PNT, provides further evidence of postnormal phenomenon, and examines the current trends that are taking us towards a postnormal 'extended present'. Finally, it explores what PNT implies for futures studies and what it means to 'be postnormal'.
