The article analyses evolution of the concept “fundamentalism” both in academic and
non-scientific discourse. It describes metamorphosis, which it underwent, originated as a
highly specialized term, denoting groups of American evangelicals, who proclaimed the
need to return to the fundamental foundations of Christian values and faith. By now the
term is used for a wide range of socio-political trends. It proved the correctness of the
use of the term to social and political movements and currents and incorrect — to sci-
ence.
Keywords: fundamentalism, market fundamentalism, tea party movement, religion, Islam,
evangelical churches, philosophy of religion, religious studies, social philosophy, politi-
cal philosophy, modernization
