DECLINE TIME AND CRISIS OF SPIRITUAL TRADITION: SOCIAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS
Characteristic feature of modern society is crisis of spiritual tradition - i.e. mechanisms of transfer of ethical and esthetic standards, ideals of public life, the ideas of purpose of human life having universal value. Crisis of spiritual tradition began in the Western world from the beginning of formation of capitalist society and today captured the majority of the countries of the world, including Russia. This condition of society and culture is traditionally called "decline time". Are the basic reasons of crisis: the unification of a way of life of various countries caused by formation of global economic system; the world distribution of the North American mass culture which does not have own deep traditions and broadcasting cultural and household customs of unsuccessful social and national groups.
