The theoretical foundation of woke culture is primarily derived from post-modernism, articulated by prominent figures such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-François Lyotard.

He posited that knowledge is inherently linked to power, arguing that societal narratives are often constructed by those in privileged positions.
