| Description |
This article discusses the relationship between modernisation, industrialisation, and globalisation. Globalisation is viewed as a consequence of modernisation, where modernisation is construed in both physical and intellectual terms. The intellectual and philosophical foundations of modernity is then explicated with reference to three major movements of thought in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century, namely the Enlightenment, Hegelianism, and Logical Positivism. The article shows that a common thread running through these movements of thought was their emphasis on Rationality and Science, and how this has a levelling effect towards cultural convergence. The final part of the article looks at recent developments in postmodernist thought and discusses their possible implications for the 'epistemology of globalisation'. The article maintains that the postmodernist wholesale critique of modernist epistemology is unfounded, or needs qualification, and in its stark form could derail the project of globalisation through its derailment of the project of modernity.Keywords: Globalisation, modernisation, culture, rationality, epistemologyABSTRAKMakalah ini membincangkan hubungan di antara modenisasi, industrialisasi, dan globalisasi. Globalisasi boleh dilihat sebagai akibat daripada modenisasi, di mana modenisasi dilihat dari kedua-dua aspek fizikal dan pemikiran. Asas intelektual dan falsafah yang mendasari zaman moden kemudian dihuraikan dengan merujuk kepada tiga aliran pemikiran di abad ke 18, 19 dan 20, iaitu Enlightenment, falsafah Hegel, dan Positivisme Logikal. Penjelasan diberi tentang ciri yang dikongsi bersama oleh aliran-aliran pemikiran tersebut, yakni penekanan mereka terhadap Rasionaliti dan Sains, dan bagaimana ia mendatangkan kesan ke arah kesamaan budaya. Akhir sekali artikel ini melihat beberapa perkembangan terkini di dalam pemikiran pascamodenis, dan membincangkan tentang implikasinya terhadap 'epistemologi globalisasi'. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahawa kritikan pascamodenis adalah tidak berasas, atau perlu diletakkan syarat, dan dalam bentuknya yang asli boleh mengakibatkan tergendalanya projek globalisasi melalui kritikan mereka terhadap projek modenisasi.Kata kunci: Globalisasi, modenisasi, budaya, rasionaliti, epistemologi
