The State and the Citizen: Tragedy or Drama?

A.V. Shestopal’s review of the work by S.Ya. Kuritz and V.P.Vorobyev is “performed” in the spirit of reflections continuing the discussions of the Age of the Enlightenment. What are the roles that society and the state are, according to their vocations, to play under modern conditions, when the crisis of global society is accompanied by accelerated formation of global post-secular society (in the author’s words: “reanimation of world religions and the impetuous variegated stream of para-religious consciousness and mysticism”)? What possibilities and what dangers await man in the forming new world? The author proposes brief, but substantial answers to these questions.
