Abstract
The last century created the new concepts of understanding of the nature and the purpose of the person in an epoch of the postmodernity, especially boldly presented in philosophy of the French postmodern (Foucault, Deleuze, Baudrillard, Lipovetsky). The author aims to study the difference between the Modern and Postmodern man. Thus, Postmodernity brings a person to the comprehension of the fact of the impossibility of expressing oneself, and replaces a person from the position " opposite the world" to the position of existence "in the world", and thus the impossibility of distancing. The excess of production, characteristic of the past and the new century, gives rise to a new type of person – the ideal consumer, as consumption becomes the basis of human vitality. These things lead to the formation of fashion. The loss of the social is due to the tendency of the mass consciousness to implosion, i.e. to absorb, to draw in any influence.
期刊介绍:
Sententiae is historico-philosophical open access journal. Journal created by Modern philosophy''s research group (Pascalian society). Founded in 2000. Published twice a year, in June and December. Our purpose is to foster the development of a wide gamut of contemporary approaches, active implementation of them into research practice, and establishment of high standards of teaching philosophy basing on the achievements of contemporary history of philosophy. Our key priority is to ensure the empirical substantiation of historico-philosophical conceptions, basing on the criteria of literality, exhaustivity, contextuality and taking into account the existing speculative interpretations. Jean-Luc Marion was the first to formulate this set of criteria in 1998 as the main features of contemporary researches of Descartes''s philosophy. We regard these principles as the methodological background of any substantiated research method in the history of philosophy. Publishing materials on all historico-philosophical topics, we pay special attention to researches in terminology, issues of philosophical translation and untranslatability, manuscript researches (including handwritten heritage of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy professors of ХVІІ–ХVІІІ century), and cover the development of large-scale projects in this area. We also publish new bilingual and commented Ukrainian translations of classical foreign philosophical texts. Among our priorities there is also a coverage of the history of philosophical thought in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries and its relations to the wider cultural context (theology, literature, natural sciences, political ideology etc). The content of each issue is distributed according to Genre Sections and Thematic Headings. Currently there are 10 Genre Sections.
