Yes. Modernity is a sort of state of being- up to date, progressive, the Modernity of skyscrapers and automatic elevators in Gotham, for example. on the other hand Modernism is a belief system- and long attacked by religious conservatives it was condemned by the Popes in the Sylabbus of Errors, attacked by many clerics in the twenties- the very notion of ( bringing the Gospels up to date) was roundly condemned. one is a generalized term, fairly neutral- Modernity of skyscrapers, up to date computing systems, and Modernism is more of a religious slant applying progressive methodology to religious practices. It is kind of negative in tone.

This is a tricky question, because traditionalism could be modernized. For example, traditions like Christmas are still done today, but it has been modernized for this era. Christmas trees are not decorated the same, nor do gifts wrapped in paper look like they did 50 years ago. I would consider traditionalism the modernism of the past. In my opinion, traditionalism should be practiced more in this modernized world. That's the beauty of modernization, you can bring any value, any belief, any trend back to the modern world. We just have have to make good use of it.

What is modernity in philosophy?

Modernity is a notable ideal when contrasted with modernism in aesthetic theory. Kant influenced the rise of the modernist movement (specifically formalism). Formalism is the idea that what are aesthetically significant are the formal properties of a piece of art. Formal properties include colors, lines and composition. Modernism is not to be confused with modernity. Modernity deals with civilization instead of art (industrialization, urbanization, technology and materialism). This movement, however, rises from the interpretation of this work some years later.
