Modern Vision of the World

Modernity, as an intellectual paradigm, was born within the Western geographical context, yet its influence has extended across various domains striving for modernization. Modernity has brought about significant transformations on social, philosophical, and political levels. This research paper aims to examine modernity and its visionary perception of the world, which elevates reason and human subjectivity as core principles—particularly through rationalism and individualism. The modernist vision sought to offer salvation to humanity by reconstructing the human being. Additionally, this paper will highlight the various critical perspectives that have questioned the modernist project and its outlook on the universe, life, and humanity.
