As a result of the war they waged against modernity, postmodern and neoliberal understandings have provided the return of mystical and mythical perceptions that modernity had suppressed for a long time, accompanied by claims of pluralism and relativity. With the 21st century, the discontent created by neoliberal policies and the increasing reaction against the global elites who maintain these policies have brought about the rise of the new right populist movements. However, there is a continuity rather than a contradiction between the postmodern and neoliberal movements and the new right populist movements in the context of the opposition to reason and modernity. In this context, neoliberal and postmodern approaches and the new righ populist movements that emerged in response to them are a continuation of each other. The attempt of postmodern and neoliberal approaches to liquidate critical reason and leadership teachings have been carried to another stage by the new right populist movements and the rise of ethno-religious movements has been one of the most important developments that marked the 21st century. While this article examines the roots of anti-reason, it also shows that it leads to deregulative and arbitrary administrations and violations of basic human rights, and argues that instead of giving up reason, it is necessary to increase reason in order to live together in peace.
