Abstract

The article is devoted to the opening of role of spiritual culture as a center of harmonization of social processes, which provides stability and forwardness in development of society. The modern policy must be based on the real knowledge of society, in which we live, moral reflections on current events, priority of spiritual culture in relation to other sides of public life. Cultural society is the tilled society. In such society all of spheres of public life are structuring on the basis of common cultural matrix. Yet ancient philosophers and dramatists with an alarm specified on the danger of human self-will, braking the relations with universal logos, on the danger of opposition of “polis” against “ethos”, antagonism of private interests to universal moral laws. A huge value has an experience of creation of early Christian communities which grew into «parallel society» in relation to emperor's Rome. In this society, without regard to repressions, were established laws of love and help to fellow, laws of liking to the openness and veracity, laws of humility as blessing, which are opening the new psychological resources of man. It is useful to remember the lessons of early Christian epoch in our time, which is very depending upon the material, technical and power decision of social problems. Modern social philosophers make diagnose of dangerous moral illness of society, establishing that we came to such way of life, which became a threat for bases of life. A vital necessity for modern technotronic terms is returning to those principles with which European civilization was begun. Namely – to the idea of the universal blessing, to the idea of man as measure of all of things, to the idea of priority of spiritual culture.
