In sociology as well as in all humanities courses, the subject of all studies and dialogues is man and his issues. This is the result of the efforts of a great number of philosophers and other scholars after the Renaissance, especially after the age of enlightenment, who paved the way for the rise of modernism as they merged into one another. In this article, the writer, while describing the status and condition of man in the modern era, examines the criticisms of postmodernists leveled at man. The questions of the research were answered using the content analysis method and by referring to documents. It became clear that the two approaches of modernism and postmodernism are different from each other with regard to their four important concepts of "self', "man's capability of cognition", "freedom" and "human rights". Finally, the writer discusses the findings of the research to present a picture of man in the modern age.
