| Abstract [eng] |
However, this concept was problematic because sooner or later it should have been realized that humans cannot comprehend God’s perfection. Therefore, the concept of God is equal to the concept of nonexistence and such type of metaphysical entity could not give a purpose to the world. Furthermore, after the fall of finalistic worldview it was impossible to prove the old political order and, hence, new search for the meaning of life in the political order began. Essential role by trying to reunite meaning of life and politics was performed by scientific worldview. Science enabled the reconstruction of meaning of life by 2 aspects: firstly, it changed the finalistic understanding of the world by causal and, therefore, it granted a possibility by manipulating cause and effect to recreate every social and natural order. Secondly, after theologians established God as nonbeing, scientists gave a way to provide a frame to the world. Moreover, some of them even envisaged the trend of progress in historical processes which paved a way to fulfil the ultimate purposes of humanity, therefore, meaning of life not in another but in this world. This created conditions for the idea that society should be permanently improved and the ultimate goal of such improvement is the salvation of every individual in this world. Although supporters of liberalism and socialism have a different understanding of this final stage of human development, both of them aim not at preparing individual for the salvation in another reality but they think that ideas of the heaven should be established in this world. |
