Sažetak

In creating the predominant social and individual standards, the
new age paradigm is based on belief in the scientific method as
the only proper approach to knowledge and the influence of unlimited
material progress achieved through constant economical
growth and the refutal of nature in order to oblige the needs of the
technical system. Established by human action based on instrumental
rational principles, the technical system is acting by far
more autonomously. The constructivist logic implanted in it by humans
sometimes seems so impeccable that it tends to become a
desirable pattern of human behaviour, activity and continuing construction
of the social system. This is due mostly to an efficient application
of technical rationality, which in many fields facilitates living,
but ultimately sustains irresponsible human economy and the
desire to conquer its environment, Le. nature, completely.
