Received, may I ask what you mean?
Post-war society is a time when many people lose all meaning and truth in their lives. The first world war is a perfect example of this, as people were disillusioned with the romanticism and polyanna that had dominated western culture for some hundred years--the great world war was the turning point in philosophical standpoint, leading to the modernists, Existentialists, and many others.
World War Two saw a disillusionment of the the culture once again, as people were disoriented with the "truths" and "moralities" that had, as to their knowledge, failed to keep millions from dying and their homes safe. Disoriented, they openly expressed their anguish and despair that the world was far too bleak and terrible to live, especially with the continuing rise of technology--both good and bad--and the "average" or "contemporary" life--9 to 5 job, nucleur families, etc. Such stereotypes and majorities have led to isolationism, an isolation and alienation that the Existentialists and Absurdists openly expressed and gave examples to, but, although their impact was great, people have since forgotten in the modern time--now.
With mass-society no longer placing much content on the individual, the philosophies of the post-war eras are again able to describe and apply themselves. The fact, though, is: we don't. Existentialism and Absurdism, and novels about the indifference of the world, of society, and of our own characters, have much to offer us in the coming time.
