Modern thought

from Introduction to Modern Thought Modern thought

• What is Modern thought?
  • = Post-structuralism
    • It mainly focuses on Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault
    • They all aim for Deconstruction of binary oppositions
  • It allows us to understand complex things without simplifying them.
    • Oh, I thought it was the opposite.
      • I had the image that Deconstruction consolidates things that were divided into one and simplifies them.
    • Well, I feel the importance of this in the Bajiro Seminar.

  • Contemporary thought is cautious of movements that strengthen order and focuses on the differences that deviate from order.

    • I agree with the importance of paying attention to differences from rules and structures (blu3mo).
    • However, I thought that we also think about new orders/structures that can consolidate differences (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo).
      • We do think about new orders/structures, but it’s a worldview where we continue deconstructive thinking, so there are no static orders or structures.
  • Relationship with other concepts
    • It coincides with postmodernism in terms of historical classification.
    • It is also said to be relativism.
      • However, it’s not about accepting any ideology in a chaotic world, but about thinking about new ways/orders of coexistence based on relativism.
    • It was also post-Structuralism.
      • As I mentioned earlier, there was a motivation to look at things that deviate from patterns/structures.
