The modern criticism concentrated on a new human pattern meant to replace rationalityand the virtuous ancient behavior. The modern man is dominated by passions and interests thus hisbehavior is a passionate and interested one. But the end of an age represents only the end of anillusion, the dependences vary and they lead to new solutions imposed by the new social structure.The culture of duty available for the ancient times was changed by the moderns due to their focuson rights and freedom and is interpreted by the Postmodernism at the level of a new structure whichinvolves international organizations meant to decide the image of the world democracy. The cultureof criticism has become a communicative culture having political influences spread by the principleof federalization. The crisis of the modern world will have to face obstacles from the spiritual fieldand its effects will be extended over the present stage to a new human condition characteristic fornew premises of criticism.
