THE IMPACT OF CAPITALISM ON RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY AND PERSONAL ETHICS: A FORGOTTEN WAY OF LIFE

Summary/Abstract: The rapid expansion of capitalism has significantly altered the social, cultural, and ethical fabric of societies worldwide. Once deeply intertwined with daily life, religious philosophy, traditional rituals, and personal ethics have increasingly been overshadowed by the capitalist ethos of materialism, consumerism, and individual success. This shift has led to the gradual abandonment of traditional lifestyles, where festivals and rituals that once served as profound spiritual and communal experiences have now become commercialized events driven by profit motives. The relentless pursuit of economic growth and financial stability has reshaped human priorities, making wealth accumulation a central goal while diminishing the importance of ethical integrity, moral reflection, and collective well-being. This paper explores the ways in which capitalism disrupts both personal and communal ethics, leading to an erosion of cultural heritage and a commodification of spiritual traditions.
