Cultural code: toward a new value system (social and philosophical trends)

Abstract

The article substantiates a need to develop a cultural code as a guardian, carrier and translator of the traditional values of modern societies, a catalyst for perfecting valuable reference points, preferences and determinants of social subjects, setting norms for them and regulating their socio-cultural activities. The author demonstrates that through the history, a cultural code working as a mechanism of spiritual and moral preeminence and ethno-cultural identity contributes to shaping spirituality and developing integration and socio-cultural interaction in the contemporary world; protects traditional values from destruction by informational and communicational revolution and by the intervention of social nets into social relations; determines the protection of culture against marginalization ruining traditional connections and forms of value and civilizational interaction.
