Postmodern and Tradition

Abstract

The notion of traditional religiosity often circulates in journalism as a conditional counterbalance to religious innovation - "a great charismatic awakening", neo-pagan cults, quasi-Eastern occultism, etc. However, the positive content of this concept is still vacant. When considering "traditional religiosity," we see, first of all, conceptual centaurism, for "religion" originally represented itself as a kind of counterweight to the "Tradition" [Dugin AG. Philosophy of traditionalism. - M., 2002. - P. 102], a way of its restoration or substitution. Secondly, in the internal analysis of the notion of traditional religion, we see a rather modern, post-Protestant content of understanding of religion as a worldview (which often leads to the centaurism mentioned above), and this post-Protestant view of religiosity is regularly modified following the "demythologization" programs of modern Protestantism
