Abstract

As great modern thinkers have noted, contemporary society faces serious challenges that threaten its identity in our familiar historical sense. One of the greatest challenges is the danger of the return of slavery at this new stage of historical development. All the signs of this return are present. Moreover, this new slavery promises to be far more brutal than previous forms of this social vice and threatens not only physical limitation but also encroaches on the most intimate part – the very soul of man. In this article, we highlight the signs of modern humans becoming slaves and all the objective and subjective conditions that contribute to this transformation. We also identify the signs of destructive influences on individuals and ways to protect against this state of slavery. The main subject of our article is the problem of the loss of individuality. We suggest that this is a fundamental component of the process of modern man’s transformation into a new kind of slave.
