NATIONAL IDEA AND NATIONAL IDEOLOGY: SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

The term “national idea” appeared relatively recently, which is why it is often confused with national ideology, value systems and other elements of national self-identification. The national idea determines the meaning of existence of a particular people, ethnic group or nation. It can be expressed through works of art or various philosophical texts. The connection between the “national idea” and “national ideology” and their influence on the ethnocultural identity of peoples in the context of the contradictory processes of the modern stage of globalization is considered. The national idea in philosophy is a systematic generalization of national identity.
