The Historical Dynamics Of Modernizm: A Critical Perspective

The Historical Dynamics Of Modernizm: A Critical Perspective

Hüsamettin, İnaç

In recent decades, the modernism and modern socio-political analysis has been subjected to criticism in many respects. The ideas of the global, post-modern and post-industrial societies attempted to legimitize themselves over the criticism of the modern approach towards the economic, social, political and philosophical parameters of modern version. Due to the fact that the institutions, models, matrixes pertaining with the modern realm faded away one after the other, challenging and confrontation with modernizm was popularized. Nevertheless, many critical series of analysis remained as deficient, abortive and defective studies because many researchers had not adequate information and awareness about the dynamics of the modernism which was shaping the main character of modernism. Yet modernism just as the other movements of thought was directly relevant, related and bound to the time and space which produce them. In the light of this understanding, we attempted to elaborate the main historical dymanics and the socio-political ground which the modernizm had been created. We hope that this study demonstrates the intrinsic and essential trajectory which the modernism followed within the dark labyrinth of history in order to meet the expectations of alternative models of societies as an harbinger. Keywords: Modernism, modernisation, modern fallacy, social change, individualism, Eurocentrism, colonialism, rationalism
