PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

The article presents a new interpretation of the problem of globalization. In contrast to the position widely spread in modern socio-philosophical theory, which interprets globalization as a process of unification of local communities and cultures at the empirical level, in this article globalization is considered not only at the empirical, phenomenal level, but also at the internal, noumenal level. At the noumenal level, the global and the local have common roots in the development of civilization and represent a social response to the evolution of civilization.
