Preferred term

antirationalism  

Definition

  • Antirationalism denotes a philosophical disposition common to a set of theoretical and empirical research trajectories within organization studies that run counter to the discipline's rationalist mainstream. Feminist, ecological, postcolonial, poststructural, and more generic postmodern critiques of organization often express antirationalist sentiments to the extent that they oppose the dominant rationalism of orthodox natural and social scientific inquiry.
