Critical Theory vs. “Mostmodernism”.

The article critically examines the academic framework of Critical Theory, particularly its role in shaping Social Justice discourse, and contrasts it with a perspective that emphasizes continuous technological and economic progress as drivers of societal improvement. It challenges claims within Social Justice scholarship that knowledge production inherently perpetuates domination and alienation, arguing instead that technological innovation and patent systems have historically promoted widespread prosperity without racial or cultural bias. Drawing on economic thinkers such as Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman, the article highlights the role of individual creativity and free-market dynamics in advancing human well-being. It concludes by proposing a shift from postmodern skepticism to a "Mostmodernist" outlook that values incremental scientific and technological progress as central to societal advancement.
