Postmodernism in philosophy - the most controversial phenomenon in the history of human thought.He has his prophets, followers and theorists.Exactly the same is for opponents and those who disagree with his ideas.This philosophy is scandalous and non-standard, so it is either their fans or ardent haters.It is difficult to understand, there are many interesting and controversial.It's like the smile of the Cheshire cat, which can accept or ignore based on their own beliefs and attitudes.
term "postmodernism" are equally used to denote the state and the philosophy and culture of the Western world of the second half of the 20th century.Among the most prominent figures, honorable that postmodernism in philosophy derives its design, can be called Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze, Isak Derrida, Michel Foucault and others.Among theorists called the names of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Heidegger.The term for the phenomenon entrenched through the work of Jean Lyotard.
complex phenomenon characterized as ambiguous manifestations of culture and ways of thinking - the philosophy of postmodernism.The main ideas of this trend are as follows.
First of all, it is "the loss of the subject 'philosophy, appeal to all, and no one at the same time.The prophets of the current playing styles, mixed meanings of previous eras, dismantle quotes, tangling in his statement challenging his audience.This philosophy blurs the lines between shapes, structures, institutions and generally all the definitions.Postmodernism claims to the invention of "new thinking and ideology", whose purpose - to break the customs, traditions, get rid of the classics, to review values and philosophy as such.
Postmodernism - a philosophy that preaches rejection of the old ideals, but it does not create new ones, but on the contrary, calling them to abandon in principle, from the ideas, distracting from the real life.Its ideologues seek to create a radically new, radically different from all known until now, "zhiznetvorcheskuyu culture" in which people must acquire completely full, unfettered (including within reason and conscience) freedom.The order in the culture they want to replace the chaos to a great variety of cultures was similar to the same way should be diverse political systems, between them as there should be no faces.
As postmodernism sees a man?For new prophets, men should stop being estimability through the prism of their personality, the line between genius and mediocrity, the heroes and the crowd should be completely destroyed.
Postmodernism in philosophy of trying to prove to the crisis of humanism, believing that the mind can only create a culture that standardizes person.Philosophers refuse optimistic and progressivist view of history.They are undermining the logic circuits, power structures, the cultivation of ideals, the search for uniformity as outdated and does not lead to progress.
If modernist philosophy orientation has on human life, but now focuses on the resistance of the world to man and his irrational impact on the world.
His popularity in the philosophy of postmodernism is obliged, according to most researchers, its achievements (because there are no such), and up to an unprecedented avalanche of criticism nizvergsheysya its preachers.Postmodernism does not invest in his philosophy of no use, do not speculate, but only played in the discourse - that's all he could offer to the world.The game - that's the main rule.And what a game, a game in which - no one knows.No goals, no rules, no sense.This is a game for the sake of the game, a void, "simulacrum", "copy of a copy."
Man, postmodernists argue, a puppet "stream Wish" and "discursive practices".In this respect it is difficult to generate anything positive and progressive.Postmodernism in philosophy - it is the sunset thought, if you will, self-destruction of Philosophy.Since there are no faces, so there is neither good nor evil, neither truth nor falsehood.A similar trend is very dangerous for the culture.
