Description
Summary:The paper is devoted to an urgent problem of social philosophy, concerning the existence of the modern person in terms of a radical update of value systems, in a situation of deep economic crisis inherent in both social and individual value systems. The author proves the point of view according to which in the modern troubled world a person finds themselves in a maze of values where you need to maneuver in a complex tangle of individual, social, human and other value systems having no well-defined borders. The paper analyzes the constantly growing trends of pragmatism and moral relativism and reveals their negative consequences both for the individual and for the society as a whole.
