Critique in the Name of What? Postmodernism and Critical Approaches to Organization
讨论后现代主义对组织批判理论的影响，认为后现代主义是危险且可能削弱批判力量的视角，主张保留“真理”和“进步”概念，并提出“批判现代主义”作为替代方案。
This paper will relate some of the recent arguments about postmodernism and organization theory to the further development of a critical theory of organiza tions. I will argue that postmodernism is a dangerous, and potentially disabling 'perspective' for critical theorists to adopt and that any emancipatory project is not well served by giving up on notions of 'truth' and 'progress'. Instead, I suggest that 'critical modernism' allows for the relativity of truth claims whilst also providing a reason to write about organizations at all.
