Abstract

The article is devoted to the actualization of the problem of anthropodicy (human justification). In the context of Russian religious philosophy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, human justification is possible only with simultaneous theodicy (justification of God). It is shown in the modern world, where media define and construct reality, the problem of anthropodicy can not be posed. However, the hypertext structure of the mass communication system allows us to develop new approaches to the actualization of anthropodicy. This is necessary in order to counteract the onset of posthuman civilization.
