Filozofi a i współczesne poszukiwania orientacji

Abstract

The crisis of culture is connected with the loss of orientation. It is a phenomenon that is easily discerned in the contemporary culture. For example in science there is a pursuit for innovations rather than for the truth; in religion one increasingly focuses on the rites rather than on the faith and sacredness; in art it is a craft and commercialisation rather than the beauty and creation that takes a lead. The present paper deals with the problems connected with the decline of orientation in the contemporary culture and with the philosophical attempts to redeem it.
