The dehumanization of everything including medicine and science intensified after the collapse of communism in Russia, said political scientist, philosopher, leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on November 23 during the XVIII All-Russian Conference “Health is the basis of human potential: problems and ways to solve them”, a Rossa Primavera News Agency correspondent reports.
According to Kurginyan, first of all what we need to talk about is the processes of dehumanization which are taking place against the backdrop of a demographic hole in the West and in Russia, a deteriorating situation in the healthcare sector and the challenges coming from new diseases. The displacement of humanism affected all spheres, including medicine and science.
“Humanism is not such a simple concept. In some strange way, it turned out that when the Soviet Union collapsed, along with this communism, whatever it was, humanism collapsed too, and this was our huge tragedy. And the rapid dehumanization of everything began. And if this is the dehumanization of everything, then there will be nothing but death. And the higher the level of dehumanization of technology, the closer is the death,” said the political scientist.
Kurginyan is convinced: in moments when a culture, a people and an individual are faced with a catastrophe, which is now unfolding in the world, there is a chance to show the will to live and turn the tide of events. But at each subsequent stage of the catastrophe, it becomes more and more difficult to do this; more and more will is needed to save yourself.
One of those who tried to find a way to counter this “inner death” that plagues humanity was Wilhelm Reich, an opponent of Sigmund Freud who studied life energy. In the last century, he was ridiculed and expelled from the German Communist Party after Freud’s daughter Anna Freud’s encouragement. According to Kurginyan, what was surprising is that all his books were also burned.
