HOMO BEATUS AS A METAMODERN PERSON

Abstract

The authors of the article believe that postmodernism has come and gone, giving way to metamodern, a new “era of the future”. Metamodern is the era of the “happy man”, homo beatus. This is a period of self-actualization of a person, life in a self-constructed world. А metamodern person creates her own poles of social attraction. The task of the new person is to build a personal “value-semantic universe” and the development of their own social norms. The man of metamodern receives a new level of freedom, this is the so-called “positive freedom”. Homo beatus independently builds its identities, draws a kind of “identity map”, cultural, national, as well as a map of its movements. Homo beatus does not depend on external circumstances, historical, social, cultural conditions, it is a product of its own creation, choices, attitudes to life. Ключевые слова: постмодерн, метамодерн, постмодернизм, метамодернизм, самоактуализация, позитивная свобода, homo beatus.
