Blockchain: A decentralized postmodernist philosophical discourse

Hanghang
April 14
Postmodernism is a theoretical paradigm and a trend of social thought that emerged and prevailed in the Western world. It subverts the order of traditional Western values and the way of discourse and moves towards a theory and social-cultural trend of thought. Postmodernism appears in architecture, literature, music, painting, and technology and affects philosophical concepts, thinking context, and social value orientation. It emphasizes the diversity and fragmentation of the world and believes that the "centre" and authority are the products of traditional rationality. In the history of Western thought, there has always been a concept of universal unity that seeks to eliminate differences and seek common ground. Enlightenment thinkers and modernists have never given up the notion that "true knowledge must be universal and based on a certain metadiscourse." In the postmodern theoretical paradigm, the issue of eternity or universal basis has been opposed. Richard Rorty said: No eternal, neutral, trans-historical framework guides us. (Rorty, 1979) Rory emphasized the need to abandon the previous concept of classifying everything into a certain universality and move towards a postmodern philosophy. In the "Post-Modern Spirit", Foucault proposed the centralized norms that rejected unconditional acceptance of the traditional external authority. (An, 2001). 11Postmodernism abandons the emphasis on a central authority, identity, and certainty; it pursues pluralism, difference and uncertainty; it advocates a realistic and tolerant view of various value standards and theoretical disputes. This theory denies absolute ideas, transcendental settings, and ultimate values. It emphasizes going to specific history, publicizing individuality and subjective thinking, which has positive significance in emancipating the mind and emphasizing equality for all. S. Seidman agrees with the radical decentering of science. He proposed that social science knowledge bears the mark of civilization in a broad sense and the national culture as a part of it and bears the impact of its producers' more specific class, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Therefore, any attempt to establish a general theoretical proposition is deconstructed or revealed through its basic concepts and explanations to indicate the author's specific social position and interest. A decentralized view of social science emphasizes the practice of social science, moral and political significance. (An, 2001)
