In the West, the Renaissance was a period of transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age. Under the very foundations of this movement lay a revolt against all that was holy, belittling every thought, philosophy, and value, alongside the claim that a person could create his or her “self.” Nourished by scientific and technological advancement, this approach at the end of the nineteenth century led to the belief that there remained no problem that physics could not solve and maintained that having surpassed the stages of religion and metaphysics, humanity would no longer need religion.

However, the twentieth century witnessed a comeback of the same, or similar movements, which nineteenth century positivism, a movement that ended with trends like materialism and atheism based on denial, had viewed as false beliefs or religions of “primitive ages” or “primitive man”; these religions had been seen as being part of a historical process that continuously progresses. Such movements had therefore been labeled as things of the past, yet these same movements were being promoted by globalism. To sum up, as the conjectures of science and philosophy proved to be false, one after the other, the trends triggered by the world they had created brought about a “socio-psychopathological” case. The psychiatrists Gökhan Karadaş and Bülent Acar comment on the issue that they have identified as socio-psychopathological:

“Human beings in their present state resemble stone age people who found themselves in an unknown jungle. Everything becomes increasingly obscure and inaccessible and the existence of the human being is endangered in the face of obscurity and inaccessibility.”

Nevertheless, despite this reality, some psychiatrists still approach the issue from a positivist perspective.
