Abstract
This research article deals with a philosophical analysis of the concept of the family within the intricate context of the modern globalized society. As globalization continues to reshape societal structures and values, the notion of family undergoes profound transformations. Employing a philosophical lens, this study explores the multifaceted nature of familial bonds and responsibilities, their evolving definitions, and ethical dimensions. The paper investigates the impact of globalization on familial identity and dynamics, addressing questions about cultural diversity, ethical obligations, and the role of the state in shaping and regulating family structures. Drawing on diverse philosophical perspectives, the research offers a comprehensive exploration of the family category in the globalized era, shedding light on its existential, moral, and political dimensions. Ultimately, this analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of how the concept of family is navigating the complex terrain of modernity and globalization.
