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 حتى حركات العهد الجديد بمجموعها تشكل نوعا ما ما يشبه الدين الجديد الناشيء ، لكن مجموع الحركات ما زالت بعيدة عن بعضها ومفككة فليس هناك من ترابط بين مرشدي الروحانية الجدد أواتباع الروحانية الجدد .
الكثير من الباحثين يعزوظهور هذه الحركات إلى نوع من اليأس والإحباط تجاه النجاحات المادية التي حققتها الحضارة الغربية خصوصا في تأمين السعادة للإنسان . ونتيجة هذا الانتشار لهذه الحركات نستطيع حتى نسجل ظهور سوق كاملة تعتمد على بيع المنتجات والخط والخدمات المخصصة للأشخاص المهتمين بهذا النوع من الحركات شبه-الدينية الروحانية .
