| Popis: | The purpose of the article is to reveal the vectors and strategies for the transformation of religion in Postmodern culture in the context of “the theory of three paradigms”. The research methodology is a combination of general scientific and special cultural methods. Actually, the paradigm analysis method allowed us to describe three global paradigms of European culture, revealing their ontological foundations. Using the genetic approach, it was possible to trace the origin and development of the ideology of Postmodernism and the New Age phenomenon as a specific form of postmodern religiosity. The application of the comparative method made it possible to discover common semantic structures in the philosophy of Postmodern and its “religious program”. The axiological approach has helped to understand the nature of changes in the system of values that occur during the transition of culture from one paradigm to another. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the application of “the theory of three paradigms” to the study of deep layers of European culture, as well as in the introduction of the paradigm analysis method in the arsenal of methods of modern Cultural Studies. Conclusions. It is established that the logic of changing the described paradigms can be estimated from two opposite positions. From the point of view of postmodernists, it is regarded as progressive and means the liberation of human existence (corporeality, sensuality, imagination, and creativity) from all irrational and cruel, which was associated with the logocentric nature of the previous paradigms. From the point of view of traditionalists, this logic is regressive and reflects the gradual removal from the sensory and material “plane” of the cultural universe of its semantic and intellectual “axis” – the Logos. It is indicated that the transformation of religion in the modern informational and globalized society is a logical continuation of the semantic vectors of the third paradigm. It is noted that the nature of the Postmodern paradigm is paradoxical and antinomic, which consists in the free and game combination of heterogeneous phenomena – science and religion, rationalism and mysticism, the dogmas of various creeds and human free fantasy. |
