The Need for Ethics
The Need for Ethics

Summary/Abstract: The present crisis can be recognised as one of extreme relativity and disappearance of values. Truth, beauty, goodness and faith have been transformed into their contradictions. Culture is essentially history which moves under the laws of double pendulum - it is a battle between two opposite tendencies, both actual and latent ones - (faith - reason, individuality - collectivity). The time we live in has lost its foundation; it is anarchic and chaotic, without its direction. So, it is necessary - besides existing laws of double pendulum - and moreover essential (which means predictable) to establish the integrity of culture and to establish a new, truly valuable hierarchy. That is the task of ethics at the beginning of the third millennium.
