Abstract

Capitalism is a reason-based system. That is, capitalism is not only founded on results and functions of reason as science & technology and philosophy, but also systemically embodies the attributes of reason as the recognition tool of object, generality, universality, hierarchy and autonomy. In other words, the relation of objects and reason is systemically similar to the relation of commodities and money. And the organization of the enterprise forms a hierarchy. So network organization, welfare based on the idea of normalization and NPOs are embodiments of anti-rationalism and synthetic moments.
