The Man – Who are You? (Historical-Philosophical Analysis of Human Problems in the Aspect of the Organizational Concept)

At the end of the twentieth century the contours of a new civilization has began to develop in the West, based on a completely new form of sociality using new types of technologies, actively operating information flows. Not all generic features of this civilization has been established though historical and philosophical studies in this direction have been done for a long time. It is absolutely clear that its establishment is making cardinal changes in our lives.

Cyvilyzation and Metaphysics

Article is devoted to attempt to clear up the cult bases of the West civilization and identify the causes of the formation of the latest features in the Judeo-Christian metaphysics. The analysis begins with justification of thought of Pavel Florenskiy’s postulate that, not only a culture genetically comes from a cult, but also any philosophical categories come from a cult too.
