ROMANO GVARDĪNI "JAUNLAIKU PASAULES AINAS IZIRŠANA UN NĀKAMĪBA"
Romano Guardini "Dissolution of the Modem World Vision and Future".

Summary/Abstract: The author takes a look at the work "Dissolution of the Modem World Vision and Future" by Romano Guardini (1885-1968) – religious philosopher, culture criticist and theologian. Guardini pointed out, that traditional views in European history on self-enclosed, not-yet-awake nature, autonomous subject and self-creative (according to its own norms) culture - ideas, fulfillment of which constitutes telos of history, are beginning to dissolve in modern times. Guardini stresses, that the man doesn't know the world as concealedly enveloping whole anymore, the world has become different and as such it gains its religious meaning. In the course of the modern times it has created a new type of man, who can't perceive the world in its immediacy, the world is always mediated by the technology, planning. There is no way back to primal sense of the world.
