Well, read and make up your own mind.
I don’t think the "conflicts" are tied to specific philosophic questions.

The Iliad is Man vs God though - Achilles is unmatched by any man, his conflict lies in him dealing with his inevitable fate, preordained by the higher powers.

The narrator actively mocks the reader in Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas. Not really a postmodern novel though.

Don Quixote isn't postmodern.
Hamlet isn't modern.
Moby Dick isn't classical.
The chart jumps around a lot.
