Alternative culture: tradition and innovation

Abstract

Modern knowledge of culture is characterized by a turn to the studying of alternatives of cultural\ndevelopment, forming a plurality of contemporary cultural concepts. The philosophy of cultural\nalternativism uses the ideas of structural anthropology (M. Foucault). The alternative program requires\na change of the development paradigm generated by the scientist culture, declaring the foundation of\nthe cultural project, the future rehabilitation of spontaneity. Environmental ethics, romantic utopia\nand the technological myth act as a source of utopian and futuristic constructions, therefore in the\nalternative concepts we may single out three types of constructions: environmental, romantic utopia\nand technological futurological projects. The ecophilosophy proposes a new type of spirituality, the\nsymbol of which is the "dancing Shiva", a symbol of the deployment of life recreating itself, the integrity\nof the universe. In the romantic utopias, the idea of the future culture is focused on creating a new\ntype of the culture with an aesthetic-erotic orientation. Technological futurological projects appear\nin the theory of alternativism not as a continuation of the scientist culture, but as an alternative to\nthe abnormal development of modern science and technology. We are talking about the possibility\nof a radical change of the civilization and culture as a result of a scientific and technological leap,\nqualitatively different from the modern scientific and technological development
