Man in the modern world: problems and perspectives

Today many of the concepts and categories lose their informative value. The mankind has faced again the necessity to develop new norms. Yes, our knowledge is imperfect also we can't embrace the unembraceable. But the person wouldn't be the person if he didn't aspire to the impossible. To learn and understand the unknown, to improve the knowledge are those purposes for the sake of which it is necessary to live. One of philosophers once said that the philosophical act is always a pause, movement against the current daily, ordinary life. Probably, it is good that during the key moments of history of mankind there appeared the Buddha and Confucius, Socrates and Plato... people who helped and help us to stop and think for a second of who I am, what I am capable to learn, what I should do and what I can hope for. Today such reflections are a necessary element of protection of humanity and happiness to be the unique person on this earth.
