“New ethics” in the context of anti-ideas concept by A. I. Titarenko

Introduction. The analysis of the complex issues that make up the semantic core of the “new ethics” involves the study of various phenomena that often contradict each other. When they talk about the “new ethics”, they touch upon the freedom of choice problem and self-expression, the rigid determinism of human moral attitudes by some idea of what is proper, socially acceptable and approved. “New ethics” proponents speak about it as a new stage in the development of morality, which challenges traditionalism and totalitarianism. However, the categoricity of this challenge turns into a new totalitarianism, like a trickster, it changes the image of modern morality, creating shifters of good and evil, freedom and unfreedom, heroes and antiheroes.
