Má Kierkegaardovo učenie nejaký význam z aspektu teórie spoločnosti, vypovedá niečo k zákonom vývoja a najmä štruktúry spoločnosti? Je iba čistou špekuláciou alebo je relevantné ako východisko posudzovania spoločenského konania a postojov jednotlivca? Je využiteľné aj v inej historickej situácii, povedzme z hľadiska chápania a vysvetľovania koordinácie a regulovania činnosti členov istej konkrétnej spoločnosti? Otázku možno naformulovať ešte aj inak, napríklad takto:Ak by sme povedali, že Kierkegaard oddelil morálku od historických a spoločenských skutočností, "odhistorizoval" chápanie jednotlivca a vytrhol ho zo sociálnych väzieb (najmä preto, aby zdôraznil jeho nezastupiteľnú výlučnosť a jeho osobnú zodpovednosť pred Bohom), pripúšťame, že takýto jednotlivec prežíva problémy spoločnosti ako problémy priamo súvisiace s jeho vlastnou existenciou?

This tendency corresponded with a more general endeavor, namely getting philosophy closer to science. The author focuses especially on new streams, which appeared by the end of the millennium and are still relevant today. These include philosophy of science, feminist philosophy, Gandhian philosophy, postcolonial studies (in terms of their importance for philosophy) as well as still reverberant existentialist and Marxist doctrines.

In the first place, it was the admirers of existentialism who diligently sought reasons to justify a legitimate place for existential thought in the new context of Indian thinking. They were followed by thinkers who categorically refused existentialism, criticizing it from various points of view. There have also been philosophers, who tried to evaluate the function of existentialism objectively and scientifically in a very sober way, first in connection to the traditional attitudes of Indian philosophers and religious thinkers and secondly in connection to the evident presence of existentialism in the context of Indian philosophy in the 20 th century.

In light of these changes, P. V. Athavale, C. T. K. Chari, N. S. Prasad and some other authors have formed and are developing modern ethical and social theories. Moreover, feminism and gender studies have appeared in the panorama of changing philosophical and sociological thinking in India, embracing gender equality in contemporary Indian society. There has been increasing interest in sociological research and a critical interpretation of Mahatma Gandhi’s spiritual message in the cause of India’s independence, whose thoughts authors engaged in contemporary ethical problems believe to be impractical and useless today. Existentialism as a philosophical stream earned broad public acceptance and played a significant role in the hist...
