MAN'S DESTINY: RE–BARBARIZATION, GENETIC DISMANTLING OR THE SECOND MODERNIZATION TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS FOR THE COMING AGE — FROM ELIAS TO SLOTERDIJK OR TO BECK?
Željko Maurović
Abstract
The attempt was made in this article to show that concept of Utopia is not, necesarily, a negative one. According K. popper, Utopian rationalism is a self–defeating rationalism. However benevolent its ends, it does not bring happines but only familiar misery of being condemned to live under tyrannical government. But, in the matters of the future of Humanity, as we claim, it must be space for the most strange and different concepts of Community and/or Society. Thus, example is giving of two different models of the future Society, Sloterdijk's concept of Homo Geneticus and Beck's idea of the Second Modernisation. Finnaly it is given a Nozick's Theory of “Minimal State” as support to the competitiveness, not onlu the two mentioned but for anu, given or immaginable, concept of Utopia.
