Khrenov, N. A. Modernization Processes At the Turn of the XX–XXI Centuries and the Future of Traditional Values

Abstract: The article contain an attempt to interpret the future of traditional culture under the conditions of globalization and ongoing modernization in Russia. To clarify this issue, the author focuses on the historical aspect of the problem. Modernization already has a long history. It has been developing throughout the XX century, including within the framework of realization of the social Utopia. However, this Utopia was just one of the variants of implementation the ‘project of Modern’ as it is called in modern philosophy. The process of formation and implementation of that project was quite a disadvantage for traditional values. Modernization was developed within the framework of the world perception of Modern. However, there were moments of revival of traditional culture which was always based on the Romanticism tradition. That tradition is still topical. It allows to soothe the negative processes provoked by modernization.
