LOGICAL PROJECT OF MODERN PHILOSOPHY: BIRTH OF PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL CONTRACT

Abstract

Modern events in the world politics make us think that Western civilization is aggressively illogical. We are witnessing the policy of double standards, a crisis of personal identity, violation of the law of sufficient reason. This is a consequence of postmodern philosophy which was built on the denial of the philosophy of the Modernity. Rejecting the philosophy of the Modernity, the postmodernists also abandoned its logical project which was the foundation of ideas about personality and social contract. The author shows how the philosophers of the Modernity, relying on the laws of logic built a project of personality and society. The author concludes that the rejection of the modern logical project of the personality and society makes the subjects of social relations incapable of negotiating, leads to a crisis of the individual, the state and to the need for the use of non-logical methods of communication.
