Abstract

The late 20th century,70 the early 80s, the Western world thought that emerged in an constructive post-modern philosophy, its critique and exceed of modernity has made tremendous contributions. Here, I would like to talk about not only by Derrida, Foucault, represented by thedeconstruction of post-modern philosophy, as we know, the philosophy represented by their principal is a thorough deconstruction of traditional philosophy and subversion, they try to use such a kind of way to completely negate traditional philosophy, expressed a complete break with traditional philosophy. The main criticism of Derrida’s deconstruction of the logocentrism,that the presence of the past is a kind of metaphysical philosophy, or that it is a speech-centrism, this is the basis on Heidegger’s philosophy, its focus is the spoken language, while ignoring the importance of written language, Derrida through the critique of Voice-centrism proposed New Philology, to a certain extent, improve the status of written language. Foucault to critique the traditional knowledge that a clean break with the modern philosophy that the development of capitalist culture is entirely Episteme’s change, but do not have a fixed internal structure, but rather changes in the structure of fracture. Thus, he studied humanities approach is a knowledge Archaeological method, rather than the hermeneutic phenomenological method is also different from the method of structuralism, but he called the archaeological method or methods later genealogy.Focus more on the rise in the United States in 90 years and developed a constructive post-modern philosophy. It is distinguished from modern mode of thinking and deconstruction of a new mode of thinking in the historical stage, suddenly we all themselves. Constructive post-modern philosophy is a relatively wide range of thought content, including up to David R.Griffin as the representative of the constructive post-modern philosophy to Charlene Spretnark to represent the ecological as well as post-modern philosophy, represented by Karren Warren Ecofeminist philosophy. Although they may belong to different factions separate, but they all recognize from the overall harmony of nature and man,mutual harmony between people. Therefore, they cross each other to some extent, only with different aspects and angles to tell the same question. For example:They are more focused on ecological protection, the importance of women. Indeed, the constructive post-modern philosophy is to use the areas in the broad sense, then, this paper attempts to produce them, the basic point of view and contribution of more in-depth research and analyzing this ferocious trend on the role of the building. Of course, from deconstruction to a constructive analysis of a deep inspiration to us, we are in its thinking and understanding in some. Since deconstructive post-modern philosophy and constructive post-modern philosophy have to be a critique of modernity, the author first to talk about is the definition of modern philosophy, the basic features and revealing its internal contradictions.
