Rationality Crisis and Human Alienation
The article focuses on the crisis of rationality within the Western modernist project, where modernity has resulted in the alienation of the human self and transformed the mind from a tool for human liberation into a force that imposes new constraints and enslavement. Thinkers such as Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and Barthes discussed the limitations of modern rationality, pointing to the declining ability of modernity to achieve human liberation, especially as technology and totalitarian systems increasingly dominate the self. The article emphasizes the need to restore balance between reason and the human self in order to achieve genuine modernization that liberates humans and preserves their dignity. It also critiques the failure of modernity to realize its original aims and underscores the importance of critically examining modernity to reform it and direct it toward human liberation rather than enslavement.
