Abstract

In the 20th century a man realizedhis creative potential. Many discoveries and inventions of substantive material and spiritual activities prove it. But at the same time the man found himself on the verge of selfdestruction.The authors of the article try to uncover the essence of modern social crisis. They make theexcursion into the history of conceptions about a man. They also use different characteristics of the civilization stage, basing on the views of domestic and foreign studies. The main reason for the unfolding crisis, according to the authors, is the destruction of the «human in a man».
