Abstract

The article analyzes the process of rethinking the inherited content of human experience, established views on philosophy and religion as ideological phenomena, which are inherent in the creation and transmission of the integrity of the picture of the world. Such integrity is accomplished under the conditions of preservation of each work and the pursuit of philosophical thought. It is established that the secularization and eclecticism of religious consciousness against the background of globalization processes determine the transformation of the modern religious paradigm. This is expressed, on the one hand, in the need for religion to acquire adaptability to crisis phenomena and in the need for special flexibility in conditions of instability and adequate perception of external variability of socio-cultural, natural and technical systems. On the other hand, in its renewed religion seeks to appeal to stable guidelines, ideals and the strengthening of the influence of fundamentalism as a result of the belief in the need for certain traditional religious and cultural foundations. These efforts are aimed not only at preserving cultural and religious identity, but also at facilitating survival in a world that is not structured by a single expediency, ambiguous, spiritually and socially nonlinear.
