Counterculture and History

Slobodan Drakulić ; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb

Abstract

The author has attempted, by reciting several historical examples (Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Protestantism), to demonstrate the manner in which movements, which come into being as counter-cultural, influence the transformation of the global socio-cultural system. Transformations taking place within those movements in such a process are dealt with too. All the four great socio-cultural movements originate as relatively circumscribed counterculture, in order to develop into dominating culture later on. They are being transformed from egalitarian or quasi-egalitarian movements into dominating religions during that process, into institutions whose function is not the elimination, but preservation of unequal relationships.
