What are the main viewpoints of postmodernism? History of western administrative theory.
The core proposition of postmodernism is anti-rationalism. The emergence of anti-rationalism has its ideological and cultural background and social and historical background. From the ideological and cultural background, the development of contemporary science presents new characteristics. In particular, Einstein's theory of relativity, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Godel's incompleteness theorem and other new scientific theories have greatly impacted the traditional rationalism's belief in the absoluteness and transcendence of reason. These new scientific theories are absorbed and utilized by postmodernism, which emphasizes uncertainty, non-centrality, non-integrity and discontinuity. From the social and historical background, traditional rationalists are convinced of the power of human rationality and the inevitability of historical progress. However, with the further development of capitalism, various social contradictions are increasingly intensified, and the inherent disadvantages of capitalism are fully exposed. The world enlightened by reason did not realize the promise of reason.
