Non-violence as a philosophical problem

Abstract

At present, the transformation of ethical, social, cultural, and geopolitical processes in our social reality at a new level requires from humanity a special qualitative formation of the level of consciousness. In this regard, we consider it appropriate to form detailed discourses about the constructor of the phenomenon of cruelty, its effectiveness. When it comes to the problem of non-violence, many do not believe in the viability of this phenomenon in today’s reality. Since the issues of nonviolence, worrying human consciousness since ancient times, have not found proper application in the course of practice. At present, humanity is increasingly facing the negative consequences of ignoring the doctrine of non-violence. The modern world is disintegrating on a substantial level, it is chaotic. Therefore, such ideological programs and actions as global contradictions, manipulation of public consciousness, terrorism, the threat of the use of nuclear weapons, religious and ethnic tensions, new movements and groups, doctrines of various persuasions and directions, require the study of the essence and meaning of non-violence in accordance with the trends of the time. In the global era, the rapid development of scientific and technical innovations, in addition to significant achievements in human life, creates new problems and prompts a new analysis of the fundamental question of the future of humanity. In recent times, new types and forms of abuse have appeared, and the fact that they cause great evil in an underground way makes it necessary to turn the idea of non-abuse into a life practice. In this article, a step is taken to differentiate thoughts about how the idea became a doctrine in the historical scene and the scope of its application today.
