Abstract: Leaning on the systemic approach, the author conducts the analysis of the changes taking place in our society with regards to the stages of the development of thinking process. The conclusion is substantiated that the state of society is defined by the level of reasonableness of those who dominate therein; while the inconsistencies and instability is a result of their inadequateness.

Abstract: This article uses the methodology of a systematic approach, according to which a crisis is exacerbation of the contradictions between disparate elements found in systemic unity. The crisis is one of the stages in the formation of cyclic systems in which humans are involved. The aggravation of the contradiction comes about as the result of inadequate conceptualisations which guide us, a gap between subjective and objective ability which we overcome with the help of our worldview. The gap between subjective and objective is overcome only by means of an adequate system of representation; that is, through a systemic weltanschauung.
