Abstract
The contemporary world is characterized by an extraordinary pace of global development in various spheres of life.

And, ultimately, the question about a human being must also be asked: where has “such” a contemporary man come from? On the one hand, a human being is rational, possesses unquestionable and unique personality and dignity, is immersed

On the other hand, he locks himself up in his world and his ‘ego’, relativizes morality, psyche and relations, is addicted to impersonal matter, helpless in the face of hunger and suffering, limits the
