Abstract

In the domain of contemporary Western economies, more and more scholars use Post-modern way of thinking. They challenge and question the dominance of the modern theory of economy, and from this ground, made a number of rich insights on a post-modern concept of economic theory. For example, "Post-modern green economic thought", "Post-modern steady economic theory", "postmodern continual development economic theory" and so forth. John Cobb Jr.'s postmodern eco-economic theory" is one of the most representatives of such theory.  Being the world's influential postmodern philosopher, John Cobb Jr. is known to the world as"process studies' main interpreter." This philosophical thinking, scientific thinking and ideology thinking is studied and researched by people in China, but still few have researched the economic theory. Cobb did not directly research specific issues in economics; instead he place economics in a larger domain, examining it under postmodernism.
