In spite of the growing economic interdependence among contemporary nations, the rapid diffusion of knowledge among contemporary peoples about each other, and the existence of the United Nations, our times are characterized far more by flourishing of nationalism than by emerging internationalism. In fact, we have been experiencing the decline of universalistic thinking rather than its emergence. Great international organizations like the United Nations or the Common Market operate pragmatically rather than ideologically. We not only note with surprise the striking absence of new universalistic ideologies in those new international organizations, but we also observe rapid decline of the previously established universalistic ideologies like Catholicism and Marxism. Marxism began as, and remained for some time, truly international ideology.
