LUMI ALTER-GLOBALISTE. CIVILIZAȚIILE UMANE ȘI DIMENSIUNEA LOR SPIRITUALĂ. DEPĂȘIREA ABSOLUTISMULUI MATERIALIST
ALTER-GLOBAL WORLDS. HUMAN CIVILIZATIONS AND THEIR SPIRITUAL DIMENSION. SURPASSING THE MATERIALIST ABSOLUTISM

Summary/Abstract: Within our paper, we’ll try to shape a theoretical approach regarding the general evolution of human society in XXIst century, and a debate about its nature: is it a barbarian type of society (as tech-scientific progress, separated from any trace of spirituality and relation to traditional values or to ancient identities) or is it rather a society that touched the apogees of its civilization? What kind of civilization are we speaking about? If we’ll take into account a materialist civilization, we can also note the trend of imposing, at a global level and over the globalisation itself as objective phenomenon, of a corporatist, consumerist pattern, a fact generating thus, absolutist materialism. Mixed with the tech-scientific advance, this creates a barbarism specific to XXIst century society (the absolutism of materialism, the Barbary of techno), separated from any relation of human civilization to the divine, spiritual dimensions. Within our paper, we’ll try to distinguish the “divine wisdom” concept from the “world, human wisdom” concept, and we are also take into account the gender approach (talking about fall of patriarchalism scenario, as freedom of the feminine world from this historical trap of being defined by the other). The alter-globalist worlds are imagined as post-consumerist, as post-corporatist worlds. There are not necessarily opposed to the global world, because globalization itself can become, as objective process, its basis for building an alter-globalist world, as a world redirected towards the spiritual, divine dimension. Globalisation can enrich itself with the spiritual dimension or it can refuse this trend, deciding thus, the general decay of the human civilization, in that kind of specific barbarism of XXIst century (the barbarism of the techné), in a kind of radicalized materialism. At the beginning of the XXIst century, we appreciate that there was already formed a kind of materialist extremism (consumerism, corporatism) that should be identified and denounced as a threat to human cultural patrimony and identity.
