Abstract

Postmodernism has a strong influence on the form of today’s culture and social space, the vision that it promotes is full of a pluralism, interpretations, arbitrariness, however, is marked by an anthropological error. It is based on thewrong concept of the metaphysical underlying the vision of building human culture. Many areas of human activity may be burdened with an anthropological error, which implies different practical consequences. This phenomenon is responsible for many defects in the culture itself, like: the social lie present on the level of the media-society; solution to the issues of bioethical balancing on the border of human dignity; reducing the human body to function of material by promoting the idea of identity as a cultural creature. Human nature is replaced by the notion of condition, still unformed, which is the result of change which the entity is subject to. Indication of the consequences an anthropological error of postmodernism, as one of the reasons for the formation of the modem worldview, expresses the problems of modem culture and the ways of how they function in the practice of our lives. The postmodern philosophical thought denies the existence of human nature understood as a substantial identity of human. It is noticed that in it the effect of various influences and discourses, which a person is constantly subject. This review reveals ultimately a lot of inconsistencies of postmodernism itself, while making way to a realist philosophy as a valuable concept of human identity, and showing a way to overcome the collapse of culture formed as a result of its wrong diagnoses.
