Half-human in the age of no principle
An opinion article examining the transformation of modern man into a being not committed to clear principles, living in a gray area without boundaries or decisive positions. The writer criticizes the culture of the era that makes clear positions suspect, and replaces principle with excessive flexibility that turns into dissolution. It calls for holding onto identity and distinctive color amidst pluralism, warning that the absence of a fixed standard makes man malleable according to circumstances and interests.
A philosophical and social opinion article discussing the transformation of modern man into what the writer describes as 'half-human' in the age of no principle. The writer sees that a principle is essentially a position, and a position requires one to know where they stand and what they accept and reject, but modern culture pushes man towards a vast gray area without clear boundaries or decisive positions. The article criticizes that clear positions are met with suspicion, and that whoever has a clear 'yes' and a clear 'no' may be accused of extremism, and whoever refuses to compromise on their convictions is branded as radical. The writer warns that the absence of a fixed standard does not make man freer, but rather more malleable according to circumstances, pressures, and interests. It calls for holding onto identity and distinctive color amidst pluralism, affirming that diversity is richness, but lack of features is an identity crisis. The article does not cite specific events or figures, but presents an abstract analysis of the phenomenon.
