TUMAČENJE ISLAMA U SAVREMENOM SVIJETU - KOMUNIKOLOŠKI DISKURS
INTERPRETATION OF ISLAM IN THE MODERN WORLD – THE COMMUNICATIONAL DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses possibilities of, qualitatively and methodologically, new interpretation of Islam, capable of adequately fulfilling the specific spiritual needs of the modern man. In the first part of the article the author discusses some of the important intellectual standpoints of the contemporary western thinkers which are indicative of the prevalent spiritual, cultural and ethical disorientation of the modern man. Technological revolution, consumerism, psychological deformations and pathological phenomena, like the widespread phenomenon of boredom, are some of the important characteristics of the modern life. An irrational side of human existence is unsatisfied and neglected. It reemerges from human existence with demands in the form of ultimatum. It basically lacks the true peace and happiness, both of which are unattainable through the union of spiritually free ratio and unselectively praised technology.
