Episode 7. Series based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Goals and Values

Series of the Institute of Heritage and Modern Society of the Russian State University for the Humanities based on Valery Fadeev’s book “Transforming Humanism“. Episode 7 What is rationality, rational action? It is important for understanding how to find a way out of the crisis in which Western civilization, and with it the whole world, finds itself. Max Weber distinguished two types of rational action. These are goal-rational actions and value-rational actions. Why these arguments about goal rationality and value rationality? What does this reasoning have to do with the problem of the age-old crisis we are discussing here? We are witnessing the decay of the worldview of the revivalist and enlightenment man. We are witnessing the decline of the energy that has propelled the Western world over the past centuries. This decaying worldview must be replaced by a new worldview, certainly a humanistic one. Decay must be countered by wholeness and activity. Humanity will have to find a way out, otherwise greed and selfishness will destroy us.
