Keywords: secularization; individualism; moral relativism; social fragmentation; serving our fellow men
Summary/Abstract: In this study we intend to offer, in a succinct manner, a moral theological diagnosis from the Orthodox perspective to the contemporary individualism. Without insisting on the origins of the phenomenon, our study focuses on a few consequences that individualism posed in the spiritual life and social plan. Finally, we propose a model of communion based on the serving of our fellow men, as a way of overcoming the social fragmentation fueled by individualism.
