PROBLEM HUMANIZMA I MATERIJALISTIČKI KONCEPT EVROPSKE UNIJE/THE PROBLEM OF HUMANISM AND THE MATERIALISTIC CONCEPT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

The paper aims to show the forgotten importance of humanistic foundations, which have been replaced by an expanded materialistic concept within social communities, for the survival of humanity. The materialistic concept is an important instance for the realization of a pleasant life, but its satisfaction, of man as a physical and spiritual unity, does not bear the mark of a truly fulfilled and quality life towards oneself and others. The European Union, with the goal of establishing peace in the world, which is unquestionably necessary, began its construction with materialistic elements that, due to the primary task, were supposed to build one thanks to humanistic foundations. The accelerated flow and expansion of social communities, and in this case, especially in the period of the 21st century through virtual reality, is persistently moving us away from the possibility of seeing what is at the base. Therefore, the healing of the social community, the European Union, should be born from a review of the elements and steps of its own construction.
