Abstract

The main regularity of the anthropological crisis is that the structural-functional basis of contemporary industrial society, including the division of the system world and the life world, has remained invariant. By this, the system world as an aggregate of the general senses, has acquired a hardness, and the life world that generates the individual meanings has started to decrease rapidly. The resource exhaustion of the life world to the reproduction of the human creatively innovative ability has really led modern culture to the bifurcation point, bringing out two possible perspectives for its further movement: either further loss of human reason and the human fixation as an automaton or robot, or the purposeful reconstruction of human reason in the frame of culture on new grounds. The first perspective means a movement on the line of “the anthropological reduction” in the direction of the liquidation of Homo sapiens. The second one means searching for new resources in humanity and culture, which are comparable as to their importance to the “neolithic revolution”.
