The analysis of the New Age movement shows its questionable religious status, characteristics, targeted audience, and learnings. It is a combination of different eastern religions with the goal of overcoming the spiritual crisis that occurred in modernism. The movement is eclectic, directed towards young and educated people, and uses an interreligious terminology. Its character is anti-institutional which is reflected in the horizontal web of power and the human potential to become deity. It is utilised in education within the business world, mostly for managers. Sociological research of the New Age movement is challenging, and theories like secularisation, modernism, and Weber`s term of charisma are not adequate. New age in its viewpoint doesn’t distance itself too much from its ideological components, and the outcome interconnection is ideology, and not the content. Besides popular manifestation and the elitist ones (which equalize positive science with a new paradigm) it is possible to determine the new paradigm with the help of the newest hermeneutic and phenomenological philosophy which are inalienable components of postmodernism.
