Lyotard의 지식관과 수행적 지식관 비판 = Lyotard's Postmodern theory of knowledge and The Critic of Performative Knowledge

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this thesis is to examine Lyotard's Postmodern theory of knowledge and its meanings in education. Specifically, the examination focused on The Critic of Performative Knowledge base on Lyotard's Postmodern theory of knowledge Conclusions are as follows.
The result of the decline of meta narratives that have functioned as bases for the legitimation of knowledge, Lyotard argues, will step into the dominance of the performativity criterion. The power of technology dominating contemporary society has degraded reason into instrumental one and produced performativity standard as a meta narrative. Knowledge under performativity principle circulates not in its educational values and political importance, but in the same way as currency does, so the criteria judging the value of knowledge can be found in 'outgo knowledge' and 'investment knowledge, not in 'knowing' or 'not knowing'. For example, in the field of education the induction of training and technology according with the system's performance becomes more valuable. But the ascendancy of performativity underestimates a person's freedom and value independent of system. Lyotard criticizes every metanarratives, like system theory operating under this performativity principle in that it entails a kind of terror to make the incommensurable commensurable.
To fight successfully against the terror of metanarratives Lyotard introduces a form of legitimation grounded on paralogy. Paralogy is a sphere that philosopher embodies the logic of dissent, not one that expert pursues consensus. In other words, it encourages new moves and possibilities of other purposes within one system. Also, not excluding other voices, it accepts the possibility of various utterances and strengthens patience to tolerate difference. The delegitimation by the logic of paralogy is necessarily tied to the possibility of knowledge based on difference. Lyotard's theory of knowledge is grounded upon a tolerance to difference. Here difference is justified by different modes of utterences existing among rules inherent modes of discourses. Thus, Lyotard's postmodern theory of knowledge presents knowledge of difference and aims at showing the differences, and suggests a man accepting them as they are with tolerance.
