The author considers the problem of changing the ways of moral regulation in the modern world. It is stated that the erosion of the value hierarchy and moral relativization occurring in mass society give rise to the phenomenon of a “partial”, “incomplete” person unable to morally and socially responsible behavior, to spiritual transformation of self. It is shown that culture as a supra-biological program of human activity is reproduced due to the aspirations of people to rise above the natural-animal (proto-moral) state. A suggestion is made that the strengthening of the utilitarian principle in the context of the development of technological civilization is accompanied by the erosion and oblivion of spiritual values, expressed in relapses of barbarism. It has been concluded that humanistic thinking reveals contradictions in the development of human nature and makes it possible to find ways to harmonize the inner world of a person: ennobling manifestations of emotional experiences and restraining destructive motives.
