عصر جديد

مصطلح "عصر جديد" New Age يصف مجموعة واسعة من الحركات التي ظهرت في أواخر القرن العشرين ضمن إطار الثقافة الغربية ، يتميز هذا المنحى الجديد من الحركات بنوع من المقاربة الفردية للقضايا الروحية . يمكننا القول أن حركات العهد الجديد بمجموعها تشكل نوعا ما ما يشبه الدين الجديد الناشيء ، لكن مجموع الحركات ما زالت بعيدة عن بعضها و مفككة فليس هناك من ترابط بين مرشدي الروحانية الجدد أو اتباع الروحانية الجدد .

الكثير من الباحثين يعزو ظهور هذه الحركات إلى نوع من اليأس و الإحباط تجاه النجاحات المادية التي حققتها الحضارة الغربية خصوصا في تأمين السعادة للإنسان . و نتيجة هذا الانتشار لهذه الحركات نستطيع أن نسجل ظهور سوق كاملة تعتمد على بيع المنتجات و الكتب و الخدمات المخصصة للأشخاص المهتمين بهذا النوع من الحركات شبه-الدينية الروحانية .
