Theory of Civilization: from singular model in postmodernism to a “new synthesis” approach

The notion of “civilization pluralism” seems to signify the simple fact: there is a huge diversity of civilization except the European one. However postmodern authors have reduced this observed phenomenon to the absurdness “All is civilization!”. This consequence means the sing of serious danger. The full relativism leads to such kind of a tolerance which cannot be admit in many cases of human experience — in cases of decivilization especially. The author suggests the model of the forming contemporary civilization. This model is based on the K. Jaspers’s notion of the “axis time” and D. Bell’s idea of the “axis principle” of a modern society.
