- Summary
- In the last three decades, a relatively homogeneous culture was altered by greater exposure to wealth, multiculturalism, travel, secularism and mass media. A predominantly religious unified worldview has fragmented and a multiplicity of different views now compete for dominance. People are looking at their values and sense of the world. Institutions of church and state which traditionally gave guidance on such issues are routinely questioned and subjected to skeptical scrutiny. A wealth of reflection on cultural change in the philosophical tradition, questions about human existence, basic values, nature of the good life and human destiny are the focal points and central to the activities of philosophers.
