Rashkovsky, E. B. Culture and Freedom (On the Problems of the New Humanism)

Abstract: The king is dead – long live the king… The old anthropocentric humanism of the Modern Age has considerably run out of steam. But its ‘questionnaire’ about a doubtless value of a human personality, freedom and culture still remains in force. Heritage of the great Russian priest Father Alexander Men focuses on the reference of this ‘questionnaire’ with a centuriesold experience of faith, devotion and understanding of selfinsuffi ciency and paradoxical inner dynamics of human. Comprehension of this heritage is extremely important for discussing and analyzing the problems of the New Humanism and destinies of the modern culture.
