CULTURAL AND SEMANTIC PRIORITIES OF UKRAINIAN IDENTITY, WHICH FORM THE BASIS OF THE NATIONAL EXISTENCE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

As a basis for the national existence of Ukraine, I will try to determine the current stage of development of Ukrainian culture.

Ukrainian culture must be considered in the context of world culture.

Our Ukrainian culture belongs to the Western type, in which the highest value is determined by Personality and Freedom. This orientation is essential. Studies of the history of Ukrainian culture over the centuries have noted the features of the Ukrainian mentality, as individualism and rejection of violence by the authorities…

Both the State and the Nation should become values. Only a strong, democratic, legal state, which will express the will of the people of Ukraine, will be able to ensure the formation of a modern system of values by harmonizing the universal and national.

The implementation of identity policy should ensure the emergence in our country of all-Ukrainian meanings, meanings, worldview, the integrity of the cultural space, what is united by the concept of "identity".

Overcoming the crisis of the ethnic status of Ukrainians.

Understanding the formation of ethnic and national identity reproduces the history of living conditions of people. For the initial stages of ethnogenesis, the determining factors were natural factors - time and space, and further progress was determined by culture as a way of purely human existence.
