Summary/Abstract: The author tries to connect the crisis of modern world with historical legacy of the development of civilization, based on permanent fight for available resources. In that light the text deals with the reconstruction of the fundamental characteristics of the growth of technique and organized political might, which has full emergence in the evolution of European societies. By the disappearance of former opposition between capitalistic and communistic societies the danger of nuclear war and violence hasn’t disappeared, but it added a new dynamic through the conflict between the only superpower and Islamic countries. International institutions have lost their former legitimacy, and uncontrolled use of power put in question not only the optimistic expectations on evolution of societies and their peaceful cooperation, but the very existence of the basic values of civilization.
