Abstract

On the basis of the philosophical analysis of modern globalization processes, the essence of real trends of cultural self-determination and religious identity is revealed. It has been proved that globalization as a «compression of the world» and the transformation of the planet into a «whole» can not supplant cultural and religious diversity. Cultures and religions are monadal, closed, they are practically non-universalized. In order to avoid an objectively determined confrontation, the unified formula of «unity of the world and the diversity of cultures and religions» should work. However, the success of its solution depends on how harmoniously builds the balance between the poles of this formula. Practice shows that solving the formula «unity of the world and the diversity of cultures and religions» by multiculturalism, the theory of «cultural globalization» or on the basis of the idea of globalization has proved to be a failure. It is shown that the balance between the poles of this formula is possible only on the basis of a viable algorithm of «accentrism», which denies the construction of any centres of dominance (the Earth — in space, the human race — in living and non-living nature, the West — in the world community, Islam or Christianity — in the religious world, etc.). It is proved that the world is held in polychrome. Diversity, not unification, makes it integral. Therefore, as an integral entity, it should act on the principle of complementarity.
