Andrzej Korczak, On Threats Resulting from Far Eastern Influences upon the Mass Culture of the West

The author claims that the contemporary crisis of the humanities, which, in his view, is rooted in a reductionist vision of the world, has generated in the West a widespread interest in Eastern mysticism. He also points to the fact that Far Eastern influences are transformed so as to appeal to a Western mass audience and, as a shallow pseudo-mysticism, exert a harmful effect on mental health.


Keywords: crisis of the Western culture, mass culture, Far Eastern influences, psychological threats
