Abstract:<\/strong> It is appropriate to pay special a en on to the case of the deceased this year, Zygmunt Bauman,
\none of the greatest sociologists of our me. He managed to capture and analyze the picture of postmodern society
\nand provides authen c informa on about the postmodern man.
\nPostmodernism came a er modernity. The rise of modernity was caused by the diminishing of the infl uence
\nof religion in the increasing complexity of life. The place of God had to be occupied by something else \u2013
\nthe man. The new morality was based on the nature of man. The downfall of modernism came as a result of the
\ninability to construct a ra onally organized society, in which the rule of mind is only reason. The new culture of
\npostmodernism is a culture of interpreta ve rather than legi mate reason; of consump on and instant enjoyment.
\nPostmodernism returns the dignity of emo ons, irra onal, inappropriate. Therefore, raising moral values
\ncan be eff ec ve if it starts from feelings to reach reason and will. The postmodern man rejects edifi ca on, but
\nhe needs communica on. The Church as a community was created to fully sa sfy this need. The diff eren a on
\nof postmodernism con nues, but it is in another form: instead of opposing the \u201celite\u201d and the \u201cmasses,\u201d it is
\nnow between the \u201ctop\u201d people and the \u201cbo om-up\u201d people. From the Chris an point of view, unity and equality
\nbetween men is possible through the realiza on of universal origin from God. In this and in many other areas,
\nChris anity can be useful to the postmodern man.<\/p>\n
