ИСТИНА

The global spread of the coronavirus has turned public attention towards global issues and the philosophy of the future world community. Against this background, many publications have appeared where authors are so actively seeking to speak out about globalization and its connection with the coronavirus that all this strongly resembles the times of the formation of ancient Greek philosophy. At that time, called "natural philosophy", the main attention of the sages was focused on thinking about the nature and essence of the universe, and every self-respecting philosopher considered it his duty to write a work called "About nature". So now the media space is literally flooded with publications that, along with the topic of coronavirus, certainly talk about globalization. The pages of various publications are full of relevant headings of articles where we are talking about the downward trend of global processes, or even about the "end" of globalization, which is defined as a "vestige and atavism". It is quite obvious that the coronavirus as a litmus test has shown an extremely wide range of opinions about what globalization is. At the same time, there is a clear trend when judgments about this extremely complex phenomenon are made without reference to special knowledge and authoritative sources, from the position of "it seems so to me". Such simplistic ideas about globalization, its trends and development prospects can be explained by the fact that this is a rather complex phenomenon, the essence of which can only be revealed as a result of a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis.
