ŚLADAMI PONOWOCZESNEGO FILISTRA

100%
EN
This article is devoted to analysing and interpretating various images of postmodern philistine. Author focuses on two different types of townspeople. First presents careerists who live in big cities; they dream about fullfilling their American Dream, sometimes forgetting about moral rules which are important in postmodern reality. They not only cheat, but also betray their fiancées. Careerists easily lose their money, spending on parties, alcohol and other different addictions. They are interested in taking part in modern reality contrary to bigots, who criticise contemporary world. Bigots do not understand modern society; they associate different patterns of life with evil that destroy not only country, but also the whole patriarchal world. These two images of postmodern philistine are similar to those which appeared in the end of the 19th century.

Интересное, хотя и мало оптимистичное решение касающееся м.др. современного человека предложила в очерке «Кризис культуры» Ханна Арендт. Автор, описывая современную массовую культуру и массовое общество отнеслась к картине современного филистра, т.е. человека без совести, человека невежды, озабоченного только на себя – можно бы сказать человека-филистра, являющегося квинтэссенцией современной, широкопонимаемой культуры, в том числе и воспитания, политики. Именно этот короткий очерк стал дополнительным материалом для рассуждений о современном человеке в контексте культуры, воспитания и политики. Однако для того, чтобы отважиться представить ответ, является ли филистерство искушением или угрозой для человека, стоит задать вопрос, кто этот филистер?

Hannah Arendt in her essay “The Crisis of Culture” suggested an interesting, though none too optimistic solution, concerning contemporary man. The author, describing contemporary mass culture and mass society, referred to the image of a contemporary philistine, i.e. a man without scruples, an ignorant man who is self-centred, one could say a philistine man being a quintessence of the contemporary, broadly understood culture, including education and politics. It was this short essay that became an important contribution to the considerations concerning contemporary man – in the cultural, educational or political contexts. However, before making an attempt to give the answer whether philistinism is a temptation or threat, it is worth asking a question who this philistine is?
