SPIRITUAL GUIDELINES OF POSTMODERNISM
The author of the article studies the basic principles of the philosophy of postmodernism. This philosophical trend was developed within the framework of a non-classical philosophical attitude. Therefore, the philosophy of postmodernism is characterized by extreme subjectivity, individualism in the context of the complete denial of rationalism. The dissemination and popularization of this approach was facilitated by the scientific, technical and information-computer revolutions that developed in the 20th century against the background of the transition to non-classical natural sciences. As a result, by the beginning of the current century, conditions had developed for the formation of “pseudo-personalities”, characterized by an orientation toward individual desires and sensations, asociality and an almost complete absence of moral subjectivity. Such a “pseudo-personality” is an ideal consumer. The author comes to the conclusion that such “pseudo-personalities”, formed within the philosophical framework of postmodernism, are not able to contribute to the solution of global problems, and, in general, to meet the challenges facing modern civilization.
