Cultural and value transformations of modern man

Abstract

The article analyzes the philosophical and anthropological approach to understanding cultural transformations. Using the methodology of system-synergetic analysis of socio-cultural systems, the authors reflect on the crisis of cultural identity of a modern person associated with the loss of the ecological foundations of culture in human activity. The existential characteristics of culture are considered, which are expressed in the categories of “life”, “death”, “sacrifice”, which makes it possible to pay attention to the prospects of overcoming the crisis of alienation of a person as a creator of culture from its material and spiritual wealth. The authors argue the need for philosophical reflection on the anthropological foundations of culture as an actual way for a person to acquire his identity and stability in the conditions of destructive challenges of modernity.
