Summary/Abstract: The problem we intend to tackle in our study, claims its importance precisely in thethematic antinomy of this approach, conffered by the paradox of analyzing thepresent through the future. However, we consider that it is much more truthful tocarry out an investigation of the present state of humanity from the perspective of itsultimate, meta-historical purpose. The premises from which we start in our researchare constituted by certain obvious signals coming from the present state of humanityand which indicate three aspects: 1) reversing the hierarchy of values or the highdegree of relativization and contestation of the vertical axis of the apodictic senseand rationality of the world; 2) the predilection of the contemporary man for theimmanent and the acute weakening of the taste for the transcendent; 3) the crisis ofidentity of the person on vertically and on horizontally lines. This project aims toachieve major objectives. One of these is to investigate the extent to which thecontemporary world still retains the principle of sense in its evolution, and what isits optics on sense. The conclusion of our research indicates the active manifestationof deist optics on all levels of human life
