Sažetak
Within the context of globalization, the principal task of philosophy is to conceptualize and differentiate between the diverse dimensions of the intricate and complex processes and problems of globalization, to conduct a proper conceptual analysis, to distinguish between the various approaches to globalization and its dimensions, and to make appropriate judgments about its normative aspects. In this sense, philosophy is presented an opportunity to develop – together with social, natural and technological sciences – the new individual and social consciousness and conscience concerning not only the ethical implications of globalization, but also the corresponding epistemological and methodological questions. Accelerated globalization has caused the growth of confessionally based supraterritorial communities. It has given stimulus to transnational religious bonding, particularly universalistic religions. At the same time the contemporary rise of collective identities rooted in religion has often also been in part a defensive response to globalization. Thus religious revitalization has frequently shaped into a kind of nonterritorial cultural protectionism. Contemporary globalization has encouraged religious revivalism in several ways. On the one hand, many of these anti-rationalist strivings can be understood in part as defensive reactions against encroachments by global forces on established cultures. A number of revivalist movements have exploited global relations to advance their causes. Religious revivalism revolted against modern secularism
