Jean Baudrillard: Simulacra and Hyperreality Explained

Jean Baudrillard argued that in our media-saturated society, the line between reality and its representations has blurred. According to him, simulacra are copies or images that no longer rely on a true original, creating a condition where what we experience is merely a reflection of constructed signs. This process leads to hyperreality—a state in which these representations become more “real” to us than the actual world. In essence, Baudrillard’s work challenges the notion of objective truth by showing how modern culture is dominated by simulations that obscure, rather than reveal, underlying reality.
