Modern Knowledge. After The Legalization Of Theoretical Research

Jean----Francois Lyotard, "post-modern father," is a philosopher with a strong sense of responsibility and mission. He had always been concerned about the political and cultural reality of society, so one notable feather of his cogitation, is a concern for social reality, especially thought about the French social movements in the 1960s. He believe that the development of Western culture is losing its critical, expressed as a tendency to succumb to reality. And his efforts to rebuild, is the critical of the culture. His sense of intellectual, makes him issue the voice of "critical, deconstruction the current system" in"May Storm" in France in 1968. He carried out the result of ideological and cultural criticism, comes down to the "postmodern" in the name of modernity and the "meta narrative" ultimately.Lyotard held that with the change of current knowledge of the nature, condition and status, when knowledge became a commodity, can be the same as the capital flow of information, and as essential elements of productive forces, modern "meta narrative" inevitable of the state of knowledge crisis inevitablely. Lyotard study the crisis situation of legalization of the knowledge in-depth, proposed redevelopment of the legalization of knowledge. Since knowledge of a state of crisis, the legalization of knowledge has not being,while the knowledge needs legalization. So how to reconstruct the legalization of knowledge? Lyotard held that regardless is scientific knowledge or narrative, should be diverse, variable. To this end, he built the legalization of the standard of knowledge, is "paralogism".He believe only through "Language Games"rule, permitting the existence of difference, giving up consensus bu paralogy, the legitimation of the knowledge can be rebuilt.By postmodern review of theory of knowledge, we can learn about that the theory has important theoretical and pratical meaning for China's socialist modernization drive under way. For China to built a socialist society, China's strong need rely on the the knowledge innovation under socialist market economy in China. This innovation need science and technology, but the most important element is the human spirit of the establishment of critical consciousmess and a sense of crisis. Lyotard's theory of knowledge provides us with the legalization of reference with how to deal with the relationship between natural science and humanism, bring into harmony. For the environment of the human development, the survival and development of human generations, people of the world needs mutual respect and understanding, made pair of hegemony, power politics, on this basis to achieve peaceful coexistence of peoples of the world, human multi-coexistence of civilizations and development.
