Liotta’s Study Of The Question Of Legalized Knowledge

It is a continuous dynamic of human development, the desire and the pursuit for knowledge. Knowledge obtained the swift and violent development from the industrial revolution. With the West into the post-industrial society, China has entered the critical period of socialist construction, and the corresponding cultural forms also changed which is the generation and development of postmodernism. The disadvantages and crisis of knowledge has arisen. Liotta (French philosopher) became acutely aware of the change, and tried to analyze the crisis and reinstitute the legalization of knowledge by combing the contemporary social knowledge status-quo.
