Philosophic thoughts nowadays are various, and support various concepts, but one of the main ideas is again globalization. The humanity is awaiting some radical changes: perhaps a society where men are working and thinking in alliance with computers is another step awaiting for us in future. Anyway, participating in the evolutionary process is likely to be the sense of our existence. Mankind can in some way be compared with a ant-hill: each ant in itself is almost of no use and no meaning to the whole ant-hill: but directed to one aim they form a real force. This is just a similar situation: all people together, united to move forward, are the main driving force of the progress. What we call “culture”, or what Raymond Williams calls “creative product”, or what Darvin called “evolution” - that is what characterises the society and its meaning in the history of the mankind. All the creative products form the reality around us, and therefore our “collective unintentional”. The consequences of someone's creativity are everywhere around us: in our upbringing, in the air, in our thoughts. This or that way, we belong to the mankind and contribute to its development.

The changes and conflicts of the whole process of living are deeply connected with social system. More or less the situations and actions around us are defined by the system as well - but the most surprising is that not only the system influences us, but we, each of us, each person, even the lees important one, as it may seem, influence the motion of historical progress... and we are those who perform the long revolution!

Compared to “Culture and Society”, Raymond Williams’s “The Long Revolution” looks forward, looks in the future over the horizons of current revolutional process. Politics and economics, culture and democracy, creativity and communication, individual and society - all these concepts, inseparable from certain lives and events, transform the environment. What Williams reached in his life and creative work, is the link between art and society. He never submits to the current trend to criticise the contemporary world; on the contrary, he is open enough to see the perspective. Any society is valued, according to Williams, by its creative achievements, and enhancing its development is the most important intellectual, cultural etc. value.

Today many voices are heard telling that the mankind is going to a deadlock; haven’t one heard the phrase “Where is the world rolling to?”; maybe these people don’t see under the cover of mistakes and hardships the way to future? Sometimes it really seems that the whole world has become insane - but aren’t these phenomenons just the shortcomings of the long revolution? Though sometimes entering wrong paths, sometimes painful and conflicted, the revolution is happening step by step, and each of us is the main driving force of the process, and the main creator of the above-mentioned creative products.
